Barcelona received a big morale boost before the important Mallorca match that will be held on Sunday at Son Moix stadium in the 16th round of the Spanish League.
The Catalan club was defeated by Las Palmas on Saturday, in the third consecutive stumble in La Liga, and in the absence of one of its most important stars, Dani Olmo, due to injury.
The newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” confirmed that Olmo participated in full strength in Hansi Flick’s squad training on Sunday, and he is now fully prepared to participate without crises against Mallorca.
The injury of the Spanish player was not serious in the first place, but Flick preferred not to push him despite the events of the Las Palmas match, for fear of suffering a setback that would keep him away from the stadiums for a long time.
Flick intends to return Olmo to the starting lineup again in the Mallorca match, and Lamine Yamal is also expected to play from the beginning of the match after coming on as a substitute in the Las Palmas match.
It is worth noting that Olmo participated in 10 matches with Barcelona this season, during which he scored 6 goals.
Barcelona leads the La Liga standings by one point over Real Madrid and one match less for the royal club, which makes a victory over Mallorca necessary to avoid losing the lead to the Merengue.
