A key Barcelona star’s future is at risk despite impeccable lifestyle choices, with no solution yet to his ongoing fitness nightmare.
Despite a lifestyle that exemplifies professionalism and discipline through rigorous diet, training, and recovery routines, this key player’s recurring injuries have become a significant hindrance to both his individual progress and Barcelona’s campaign ambitions.
The ongoing struggle to find a solution is increasingly seen as emblematic of broader challenges affecting the squad’s durability and depth this season.
The midfielder in question is Dani Olmo, whose fitness woes have become a serious puzzle for Barcelona, as reported by El País.
According to reports, Olmo meticulously follows a strict regimen—including traveling with a personal chef and engaging in extensive evening workouts—to maintain peak condition.
Yet, the club and medical personnel remain puzzled by his repeated setbacks.
The department acknowledges that while recovery methods effective for other players like Pedri have worked in the past, they may not suit Olmo’s needs, complicating efforts to achieve lasting fitness.
This season alone, Barcelona has endured an unprecedented number of injuries, with 15 total and 12 muscular, tripling last year’s numbers at this stage—highlighting the strain on the medical team as well.
Despite these frustrations, confidence in Olmo’s abilities remains strong within Barcelona’s sporting hierarchy.
When fully fit, he is regarded as one of Europe’s top midfielders, with immense technical skill and vision.
However, since he arrived at the club, Olmo has suffered 11 separate injuries, eight of a muscular nature, underscoring a worrying pattern that has hindered his ability to consistently impact games.
For now, both player and club continue to seek the right balance in training and recovery, locked in a challenging cycle that leaves the future uncertain.
