The news that Dani Olmo has been given the all-clear to play in Barcelona’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg matchup against Borussia Dortmund could be a huge boost for the team.

It’s interesting that his comeback comes at a pivotal time because he hasn’t played since late March due to a right leg muscle injury sustained during Barcelona’s game against Osasuna. Thankfully, the midfield player has returned on schedule, as all of the expectations about his recuperation have already been fulfilled.

According to reports, Barcelona’s coaching and medical staff will continue to use the utmost caution when it comes to his return, even in light of recent events. This is a result of Olmo’s past injuries. He is not in any hurry to return to the starting lineup at this time.

Indeed, the team intends to carefully monitor his recuperation, enabling him to return to match fitness before granting him consistent playing time.

In addition to Barcelona’s most recent encounter against Leganes, Olmo has missed 15 games this season due to injury. His return, though, couldn’t have come at a better time, as Barcelona is still in the running this season across all competitions.

Additionally, Olmo’s return raises expectations for a strong Champions League showing because he has a strong record against Borussia Dortmund, having faced them nine times during his career.

The Spaniard has contributed to five victories and four defeats in those games. His most recent meeting with the German squad took place in the group stage of this season’s competition, where he assisted Barcelona in winning 3-2.

In their attempt to defeat Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona will attempt to capitalize on Olmo’s inventiveness and vision, even though it is too soon to say that he will start the match.
