FC Barcelona confirms Dani Olmo's injury and time out\" class=\"c-related-article__link\">                 OFFICIAL! FC Barcelona confirms Dani Olmo&#8217;s injury and time out             <\/a>         <\/h4>     <\/div> <\/section><\/div>  <p>The absence of the midfielder is a very sensitive one for <strong>Flick<\/strong>, since the player was being a key piece in the team&#8217;s play. His impact in the first few days of <strong>LaLiga<\/strong>, scoring three goals in three games, has been fundamental to the good performance of the Catalans in the championship, which is why the German coach has a real headache ahead of him.<\/p>  <p>And the fact is that the Bar\u00e7a midfield has been left more out of sorts than ever. <strong>Olmo joins Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez, Gavi, Bernal and Frenkie de Jong<\/strong> in the Bar\u00e7a infirmary, and although the Dutchman has already returned to training, the truth is that he needs some more training before jumping onto the pitch in official competition. Therefore, his presence against <strong>Monaco <\/strong>in the <strong>Champions League<\/strong> debut is practically ruled out, leaving the Blaugrana coach with a serious problem to solve.<\/p>  <h2>Possible replacements for Olmo in midfield<\/h2>  <p>Ahead of the Champions League debut, <strong>Hansi <\/strong>would have two great alternatives to accompany <strong>Pedri and Marc Casad\u00f3<\/strong> in midfield. The first of them, giving <strong>Ferran Torres<\/strong> a starting role on the left to move <strong>Raphinha <\/strong>to the centre of the field, an alternative that was already used by the German in the first few days of <strong>LaLiga<\/strong>.<\/p>  <p>On the other hand, <strong>Flick <\/strong>could opt for <strong>Pablo Torre<\/strong>, who started both games with the U-21s during the break and whose profile is more similar to <strong>Olmo&#8217;s <\/strong>as he is a natural midfielder. The Cantabrian had a lot of minutes during the preseason and his time at <strong>Girona <\/strong>helped him gain experience in the elite, reasons why the Bar\u00e7a coach could give him a &#8216;vote of confidence&#8217; in the Principality.<\/p>  <p>Finally, <strong>Eric Garc\u00eda<\/strong> could be <strong>Bar\u00e7a&#8217;s <\/strong>&#8216;dark horse&#8217; in the centre of the field, as the Masia youth player has experience in the position and <strong>Flick <\/strong>himself admitted that he plans to use him in this area throughout the season. The German could move Casad\u00f3&#8217;s position forward and leave him as an inside midfielder, a position in which he played many minutes before Bernal&#8217;s injury, while Pedri would play as a playmaker.<\/p>  <h2>Bar\u00e7a &#8216;rushing&#8217; the return of injured players<\/h2>  <p>For <strong>Flick<\/strong>, the recovery of midfield players is key, and <strong>Frenkie de Jong<\/strong> has been the first to take the step. The Dutchman stepped onto the pitch at Camp Tito Vilanova and did some of the work with the group. While we wait to see how he evolves, his return in the next few weeks would be a top-level reinforcement for the German, who is eagerly awaiting his return.<\/p>  <div class=\"cke-element cke-element--102\"><section class=\"c-related-article\"><figure class=\"c-image__fig\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/fc-barcelona\/sonrie-fc-barcelona-frenkie-jong-por-fin-regresa-entrenamientos_307309_102.html\" title=\"Frenkie de Jong en una sesi\u00f3n de entrenamiento con el FC Barcelona\" class=\"c-image__imglink\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/fcbn-c6712541116d631260e08b19e0866c20.jpeg\" alt=\"Frenkie de Jong en una sesi\u00f3n de entrenamiento con el FC Barcelona\" title=\"Frenkie de Jong en una sesi\u00f3n de entrenamiento con el FC Barcelona\" class=\"c-image__img\" width=\"1300\" height=\"732\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><\/a>     <\/figure><div class=\"c-related-article__wrapper\">         <p class=\"c-related-article__avantitle\">Related<\/p>         <h4 class=\"c-related-article__title\">             <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcbarcelonanoticias.com\/en\/fc-barcelona\/sonrie-fc-barcelona-frenkie-jong-por-fin-regresa-entrenamientos_307309_102.html\" title=\"FC Barcelona 'smiles'!
