Olmo could be fit for Villarreal

Olmo expected to return from left adductor injury for Villarreal match on 22 November after missing six weeks.

Dani Olmo has been sidelined since Barcelona's Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain on 20 October, when he suffered a left adductor muscle injury. The absence has been significant for manager Hansi Flick, with Olmo missing key fixtures against Real Madrid, Aston Villa and Atlético Madrid.

However, recovery is progressing well. According to Mundo Deportivo, Olmo's condition has improved considerably in recent days, and Barcelona's technical staff believe he will be available for the La Liga match against Villarreal on Sunday, 22 November.

His rehabilitation is advancing so positively that he could even feature if a midweek fixture were scheduled before the Villarreal game. Olmo will use the current international break to continue specific training work and build up his fitness.
