According to the Spanish media "El Pais", Barcelona is confused by Olmo's frequent injuries.
According to reports, Barcelona is surprised by Olmo’s recent frequent injuries, because players actually pay great attention to maintaining their bodies. The club's sports department cannot explain why the team has suffered frequent injuries since the start of the season. So far, there have been a total of 15 injuries, mostly muscle injuries, with a total of 12 cases, which is three times the number of injuries in the same period last year. Among them, Olmo is the epitome of Barcelona's injury problems, and Barcelona's medical department has still not found the root cause.
Olmo has been troubled by injuries for a long time. Since joining Leipzig Red Bull in the 2021-22 season, he has suffered 11 injuries, 8 of which were muscle injuries, and half of them occurred after joining Barcelona. In fact, Olmo pays so much attention to his diet that club insiders revealed that the player even brings his own chef with him when he goes on holiday. In addition to daily training, he also strictly controls rest time, but there still seem to be some problems that are bothering Olmo.
The injury problem obviously makes Barcelona coach Flick very worried, but the management issues within the club also give him a headache. Due to different opinions between the medical department and physical therapists, Flick never dared to let Rafinha return. The doctor believed that the player was not yet qualified to participate, while the rehabilitation physiotherapist held the opposite opinion. Flick, who was caught in the middle, had to speed up Raphinha's comeback. The coaching staff said that Flick was trying to control internal problems.
In addition, there is also a realization within the locker room that the current physical training methods are not suitable for everyone. A Barcelona player emphasized: "Pedri did benefit from this, but it may not apply to others." Especially for Olmo, they have not yet found a suitable solution. At the beginning of this year, Olmo underwent a physical evaluation. According to "World Sports", the results were positive: "All the player's indicators are within the normal range, consistent with his age and competition and training load."
During the Spanish national team training, Olmo injured the soleus muscle of his left calf, and Flick paid special attention to his recovery. Olmo and Lewandowski only played 32 minutes against Brugge. Barcelona hopes that these two players can continue to adjust their status in the game against Celta Vigo. The Spanish national team also protects Olmo and hopes that he will maintain good condition. Olmo, on the other hand, has remained silent about his physical condition while working hard to find a solution that would allow him to continue playing.
