Barcelona ready to take ‘maximum caution’ with one player this season | OneFootball

The coaching staff at La Liga giants Barcelona will take no chances when it comes to the fitness of one particular member of the club’s midfield ranks this coming season.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Dani Olmo as the player in question.

Attacking midfielder Olmo is for his part of course fresh off a solid debut campaign back in the colours of Barcelona.

En route to the club’s domestic treble, the 2024 summer arrival racked up 19 direct goal contributions in all competitions.

These figures could have been even more impressive, though, if not for a series of injury problems.

Olmo was forced to sit out 15 games in 2024/25, owing to a trio of separate fitness concerns.

With the fixtures set to continue coming thick and fast for a team with plans to challenge on all fronts this coming term, it should in turn not come as a major surprise to hear of Barcelona preparing to alter Olmo’s workload.

As per a report from Sport, the Blaugrana intend to exercise ‘maximum caution’, in a bid to keep the Spanish international’s fitness issues to a minimum.
