Olmo to miss Switzerland clash despite avoiding knee injury

Luis de la Fuente has Rodri Hernandez back in the squad to face Switzerland this Sunday (20:45) in the Nations League. However, Dani Olmo will miss the match against the Swiss team as a precaution.

'Sport' reported that the Barcelona player only suffers from Nikola Milenkovic's knock. In other words, the RFEF medical services have ruled out any serious injury to the European champion's right knee.

The news was welcomed with open arms in Barcelona. Hansi Flick is breathing a sigh of relief regarding Dani Olmo's fitness. The German coach is dealing with the physical problems suffered by the 'Cules', but he is not adding another patient to the stretchers.

Fabrizio Romano provided more details and assured that the player is returning to Catalan soil to focus on returning to work with the ‘Cules’. Pending a second opinion from his club's medical staff, he has no damage to the ligament or meniscus in his right knee.

Pepelu will wear the No 10 of Spain in their visit to Switzerland. Dani Olmo concludes his journey in the current international break and is already thinking about Barcelona, who will face Girona next Sunday at 16:15 CEST in the launch of his away kit.
