Dani Olmo close to return: could face Villarreal on 22 Nov
Barcelona hope to have the midfielder back for the league game on Sunday 22 November, out since a left adductor injury on 20 October.
Dani Olmo could be available for Barcelona's next league match against Villarreal on Sunday 22 November. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish international has felt very good in recent days, and the Barcelona coaching staff believes he has a real chance of making that date.
The attacking midfielder has been out since the Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain on 20 October, when a left adductor injury forced him off the pitch. Since then he has missed key matches for Hansi Flick: the games against Real Madrid, Aston Villa and Atlético Madrid.
His recovery is progressing well and the goal is to be cleared medically in time for the Villarreal game. If Barcelona played a midweek match before that fixture, he could even be ready sooner. Meanwhile, he will use the international break to get back up to speed with specific training.
