The RFEF will test Dani Olmo in the coming hours to determine whether he has a knee injury. Barcelona's star signing collided with Nikola Milekovic in the opening match of the Nations League against Serbia. At the press conference prior to the Spanish national team's second match, Luis de la Fuente admitted that he had hurt himself more than expected and that he would not be able to train after his appearance.
Shortly afterwards, Ferran Martinez, of ‘Mundo Deportivo’, reported, through his social networks, the Federation's plans to investigate his discomfort to rule out any joint problems for the former Leipzig player. The Catalan side will be particularly concerned about these tests because it would be terrible news for Hansi Flick to lose one of his key players at the start of the season.
The EURO 2024 winner has already made a big impact on the squad with his goals against Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid. In fact, he hit the post twice against the 'Blanquivoletas' and once more against the Madrilenians. In the first match of the current international window, he had started for ‘la Roja’ and had accumulated 82 minutes of play. Presumably, he will be rested in Geneva on Saturday.
Clubs, coaches and players have warned, on several occasions, of the dangers that can come with such an overloaded schedule as this season. The first stop for each national team call-up is beginning to wear on the patience of some elite clubs. Barcelona are waiting with concern for the results of Dani Olmo's tests and, at the same time, Real Madrid have received an indignant return of an injured Eder Militao with Brazil.
