Barcelona’s 1-2 loss to Las Palmas was an unexpected result, especially considering the poor form of their opponents and the fact that Barcelona had home advantage. Despite being under pressure and trailing for most of the second half, Hansi Flick turned to his bench, bringing on key players such as Frenkie de Jong, Ferran Torres, and Pau Victor in attack.

It was surprising that Dani Olmo didn’t warm up, especially since his presence in the squad suggested his discomfort wasn’t serious.

As reported by AS, Olmo is dealing with a pubic overload. While he could have played, Flick chose to be cautious, even with the team trailing.

However, the report indicates Olmo will be available for the midweek match against Mallorca and is likely to start. Along with Olmo, Lamine Yamal, who only played the second half against Las Palmas, Alejandro Balde, who left the field winded, and Marc Casado, who missed the Las Palmas game due to suspension, are expected to start.

Barcelona will have their strongest lineup available as they look to recover from their recent struggles in La Liga, having dropped eight of their last nine points. Olmo’s contribution will be crucial.

This season, the 26-year-old has played seven league games for Barcelona, scoring five goals, creating three big chances, and completing 1.6 dribbles per game.
