"According to a fresh update from Carlo Montfort of SPORT, Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo has made an encouraging step forward in his recovery, returning to light training on the pitch. The 27-year-old is expected to take part in group training today, after which his fitness and sensations will be assessed to determine if he is ready to make a full return."
"Olmo's fitness record has been particularly worrying because, since 2021, he has suffered 11 separate injuries, mostly muscular, which have collectively kept him sidelined for 377 days. Over the last four and a half seasons, he has missed 85 of 252 potential matches, meaning he has been unavailable for nearly 34% of games across club and international duty. At Barcelona alone, the figures remain concerning - 17 matches missed in his debut campaign, and the 2025/26 season has only just begun."
"Determined to recover swiftly, the midfielder has been working tirelessly to regain his match sharpness and help the team in the coming fixtures. Fortunately, Barcelona's clean week without midweek games has given Olmo the breathing space he needs to recover without being rushed back into action. The club hopes he can be available for the upcoming weekend clash against Elche, which would mark an important boost for Hansi Flick's side after a tough run of results."
Dani Olmo has returned to light pitch training and is expected to join group training today, with his fitness and sensations assessed afterward to decide on a full return. The 27-year-old suffered a calf injury while with Spain that worsened in training, forcing him to miss Barcelona's last two matches. He has been working intensively to regain match sharpness during a clean week without midweek fixtures. Sporting director Deco met the player's agent to manage recurring issues. Since 2021 Olmo has had 11 injuries, missing 377 days and nearly 34% of potential matches.
