Dani Olmo will not be available for Barça against Valencia. The club is being very cautious with his recovery, and his return could happen next Sunday against Alavés

Calendar of FC Barcelona

During the morning of this Saturday, FC Barcelona completed the last training session before the match against Valencia at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. A session from which Dani Olmo did not participate, as the player from Terrassa continued his recovery work in the gym away from the group and is, along with the injured Íñigo Martínez, Marc André Ter Stegen, and Marc Bernal, one of the confirmed absences for the clash against the Valencia team.

Despite the overload in the soleus of his right leg suffered against Getafe that would keep him out for about ten days, all indications are that his return will be postponed a few more days. This was reported by 'AS', which stated that the club's expectation is to have the player back in the match on Sunday, February 2 against Alavés.

Barça, more cautious than ever with Olmo

The extensive history of injuries for Olmo forces the medical staff of Barça to handle his reintegration into the first team with extreme caution. In fact, this season the player has already spent over a month sidelined due to a hamstring tear in his right thigh, which has led the club to manage his situation with utmost care.

The Blaugrana have decided not to take any risks with the player, which is why his return has been delayed longer than expected. Thus, the player from Terrassa continues to see his regularity hampered by physical problems, which have forced him to miss nine matches so far, in addition to another four due to his 'issue' with registration. Meanwhile, Barça will patiently await one of their most crucial players.
