A leading member of the midfield ranks at La Liga champions Barcelona played no part in group training on Friday.
That’s according to Blaugrana insider Victor Navarro, who points towards Dani Olmo as the player in question.
The subject of injury problems has of course emerged as an altogether prominent one in Catalunya’s capital over recent days.
This comes after both Ferran Torres and Fermín López picked up fitness concerns.
As much was then followed earlier today by confirmation that Robert Lewandowski has been ruled out of this weekend’s Joan Gamper Trophy match owing to a muscular issue.

As alluded to above, though, the problems for Hansi Flick and his staff do not end there…
As per a report from the aforementioned Victor Navarro of COPE:
‘Dani Olmo was sidelined today due to a muscular overload.’
In more positive news for Barcelona, though, it is also noted that Ferran Torres has now rejoined group activities at The Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.
