Europa Press, E-Noticies It seemed impossible, but Dani Olmo has done it: Madrid and Barça celebrate the extent of his injury
It is now known how long Dani Olmo will be sidelined after the injury he suffered during Spain national team's training session
Dani Olmo arrived in Barcelona last summer from Leipzig for €55 million with the mission of becoming the team's starting attacking midfielder. His first matches were promising: three goals in three games and a sense that Barça had found their new creative leader.
However, as the months went by, his performance has declined. Internal competition, bureaucratic problems with his registration, and above all, his repeated injuries have seriously affected his continuity. Dani Olmo has gone from being a key piece to becoming an inconsistent and physically fragile player.
Dani Olmo, once again out
This season, his situation has worsened. Far from the level he showed last season, Dani Olmo has lost prominence in Hansi Flick's plans. In addition, constant muscle discomfort has prevented him from having rhythm and confidence, two essential factors for a footballer of his profile.
The latest blow came during the training camp with the Spanish National Team. Dani Olmo suffered a muscle injury in the soleus of his left leg. At first, the RFEF medical staff estimated that he could be out for several months.
However, the latest tests have shown a completely different outlook. According to Barça, Dani Olmo's injury is much less serious than expected. The player will be out for two to three weeks, a quick recovery that has surprised everyone.
Dani Olmo brings joy to Barça, but also to Madrid
At Barça, the news has been received as a real relief. Hansi Flick thought he wouldn't be able to count on Dani Olmo in the coming months, but the reality is different. Number 20 will only be out for two to three weeks, which is a reason for joy in the Barça environment.
However, interestingly, the extent of Dani Olmo's injury has also been celebrated at Real Madrid. The reason is simple: the medical report confirms that he won't be ready in time to play in the Clásico on October 26 at Bernabéu. His absence removes one of Barça's most dangerous footballers in the final third of the field.
Thus, what seemed like disastrous news has turned into a small victory for everyone. Barça breathes a sigh of relief knowing that Dani Olmo won't be out for so long, meanwhile, Real Madrid ensures that he won't be in the Clásico. Two different ways to celebrate the same news.
