Neither Robert Lewandowski nor Joan García, Barça experiences maximum happiness as another star returns

Barça recovers key players such as Lewandowski and Joan García, while another star appears on the horizon

Good news is starting to arrive for Barça, as Robert Lewandowski has been training with the group for a week and is set to start against Elche. His return brings immense joy to Flick, who gets his offensive leader back at a key moment in the season. Now the German coach has more resources to face the upcoming competitive fixtures.

Meanwhile, Joan García has sped up his recovery timeline and, although we'll have to wait until next weekend to see him on the field, we can say that he is already recovered. The goalkeeper's return is scheduled against Celta de Vigo, a match that will be played on November 9. It's clear that Flick, little by little, can start to count on his best men.

As if that weren't enough, in the last few hours it has also become known that another star is starting to take part in group dynamics. Let's remember that players like Pedri, Christensen, Gavi, Raphinha, or Dani Olmo are still dealing with discomfort. However, one of them is very close to being available again.

Dani Olmo already training with his teammates

Dani Olmo, who was injured at the beginning of October during a training session with the Spanish National Team, has already returned to training with Barça. During his absence, he lost his starting spot to Fermín, so now he'll have to work twice as hard to regain his role.

It's still too early to know if Dani Olmo will be available on Sunday against Elche, but his inclusion in the squad for next Wednesday's Champions League match is guaranteed. This return further strengthens Flick's tactical options, allowing offensive alternatives that had been limited until now. Without a doubt, this is great news for Barça's interests, as they need to have all their players at their best to achieve the established goals.

Barça get key pieces back just in time

Robert Lewandowski's return has an immediate impact on Barça's attack since his experience and goal-scoring ability balance the team. Joan García's return brings stability between the posts and reduces the pressure on the first team's goal. Dani Olmo's return opens up new creative options from the attacking midfield, something Barça had been missing.

Flick now faces a more optimistic scenario with several players available at decisive moments in LaLiga and the Champions League. Although uncertainty remains about when each one will be able to return, the fact that these footballers are close to coming back sends a message of trust to the locker room and the fans. Barça must take advantage of this break in the infirmary to reactivate their winning momentum and face the crucial weeks with renewed ambition.
