FC Barcelona was a river success against Valence (7-1) Sunday evening in Liga. A result that allowed the Blaugranas to resume third place in front of the Athletic Bilbao, seven points from Real Madrid, leader, but three lengths from his runner -up, Atlético Madrid.
During this meeting, Hansi Flick had to do without some of his best elements: Pedri and Olmo. While the first suffered from gastroenteritis, but was able to resume training this Monday, this is not the case with the second, which still faces a muscle overload in the sole of the right leg, according to
Marca.
Olmo's private barça for C1
This physical glitch had already forced the former Leipzig player to miss the Champions League shock against Benfica (5-4). Not completely recovered from his injury, Dani Olmo should be absent for the reception of Atalanta this Wednesday, as part of the 8th day of the Champions League.
The 2024 European champion could however return next Sunday against Alavés in the championship. As a reminder, the native of Terrassa had only played 29 minutes in his last match with the Cules against Getafe (1-1) on January 18, where he replaced Gavi after the hour.
