Dani Olmo returns to Barca squad for Dortmund tie after foot injury

Dani Olmo has made a return to the Barcelona squad for the first time since right after the March international break when he sustained an ankle injury.

Olmo featured in Barca’s 3-0 win over Osasuna and grabbed his seventh La Liga goal of the season in March before being forced off with an injury in the first half of the game.

Barca since had to manage without the 26-year-old, who they signed last summer to help improve their squad depth and options in attack.

Olmo has proved to be key for Hansi Flick, who stated that it was ‘really frustrating to lose him’ with the final stretch of the season unfolding.

Now, Olmo makes his return to the squad after Barca announced the injury concern of Alejandro Balde, who is set to be out for the Blaugrana for the next three weeks.

Hansi Flick will be looking to make rotations against Dortmund on Tuesday night in Barca’s quarter final second-leg fixture in the UEFA Champions League, and Olmo could be handed some minutes to help get him back to his best level
