Major boost for Barcelona as key midfielder in line to return from injury vs Leganes

As we enter the final phase of the season, FC Barcelona are starting to show clear signs of fatigue.

The Catalans have had to play four matches in the space of ten days following an international break during which most players were involved with their national teams – a few even featuring in matches that went to extra time.

The hectic schedule is starting to take its toll and signs of it were visible during the 1-1 draw against Real Betis this past weekend.

As such, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick now has two crucial tasks at his hand – to rest the most heavily used players and to bring the ones currently sidelined back into the fold.

Dani Olmo likely to return soon
In that context, Dani Olmo’s return is a clear priority. And, according to AS, his recovery is progressing well, and there is hope he will be available soon.

The key attacking midfielder was injured in the game against Osasuna, after returning from international duty with Spain in the Nations League.
