The Barcelona star ruled out the clash of Alaves, but the promising news of recovery arrives

Barcelona’s midfielder, Dani Olmo, will not appear on the team for his next match against Alaves this Sunday.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish international did not participate in the recovery session on Thursday, confirming that it will not be ready for time for the game.

This is a continuation of its recovery process, after an overload in the soleus muscle of its right leg, which it held earlier this month.

Although Barcelona initially did not specify an exact timeline for his return, Olmo’s absence is now confirmed for this weekend’s game. The injury had already kept him out of the previous match against Atalanta.

There are some good news

While Olmo’s situation is a setback, there are some positive news for Barcelona, ​​since defender Inigo Martínez seems to be recovering faster than expected.

Martínez, who has been outside since he suffered a thigh injury during the Super Cup final on January 12, trained with the group on Thursday.

He had been dealing with a femoral biceps tear in his right thigh, and initially, the expected recovery time was established at four weeks.

However, your return to training is a promising sign that it can be available earlier than expected, possibly on time for Sunday’s party, although your participation is still uncertain.

This news occurs after Barcelona assured second place in the first phase of the season, which allows them to avoid the playoffs.

With the team approach now in the next game, manager Hansi Flick has led the recovery sessions, preparing his team for a difficult match with Alavés.

Barcelona will have to advance without elmo, but the return of Martínez, which has been an important figure in its defense, could provide a very necessary impulse.

It remains to be seen if you will be ready for the game, but your progress in training is a positive development for the team.
