Overview
- Olmo has been out since suffering a left adductor tear in Barcelona's Champions League game at PSG on October 20 and underwent tests after returning to the club.
- Initial estimates put his layoff at about one month but his rehabilitation has progressed faster than expected according to reports.
- Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo reported the medical and coaching staff are targeting the first post-break match against Villarreal on November 22 for his return.
- Those reports have been carried by Goal and Yahoo Sports but Barcelona have not yet issued formal medical confirmation of a clearance.
- If cleared, Olmo would restore a key creative option for Flick after missing matches versus Real Madrid, Aston Villa and Atlético Madrid and he has one goal and four assists from 12 appearances this season.
