FC Barcelona is preparing for their crucial match against Borussia Dortmund, and today a piece of news has surprised everyone. Although the team was already finalizing the details of their trip to Germany, a last-minute draft has given an unexpected twist to the situation. Pedri, one of the fans' most beloved players, joyfully celebrates one of the surprises of this draft.
Barça is ready to face Borussia Dortmund in an important duel to continue fighting for a spot in the next round of the Champions League. The team will travel tomorrow, but before departing, coach Hansi Flick's draft has left some news that everyone is talking about.
Balde's Absence, a Significant Setback
One of the major absences in the list of drafts is Alejandro Balde. The left-back suffered an injury to the left hamstring during the match against Leganés last Saturday.
This injury, although not expected to be serious, has left Balde out of the draft for the duel in Germany. According to the initial medical reports, it is estimated that the young defender will be out for approximately two weeks.
Balde's absence is a significant setback for Hansi, as the left-back has been an undisputed starter for Barça in recent matches. The absence of such a key player raises the question of who will take his place in the starting eleven, as options are scarce in that position.
The Big News: Dani Olmo's Return
While Balde's absence has caused concern, there is news that has delighted the Barça fans: Dani Olmo's return. The Spanish midfielder, out due to an adductor injury, has recovered earlier than expected.
Initially, it was thought that Olmo would be out of action until Thursday, which would have left him out of the draft for this crucial match. The footballer has recovered faster than expected and is ready to return in this crucial European clash.
The news has been received with enthusiasm, especially because Dani Olmo is an essential player for Hansi's scheme.
Pedri, the Main Protagonist
Pedri, who is in excellent form, is also one of the most outstanding players in the draft. The Canary Islander, noted for his vision of the game, has celebrated Olmo's return, which strengthens Barça's midfield.
Pedri and Olmo together on the field represent great news for the fans, who trust that both can bring a lot of freshness and creativity to Barcelona's game. The young midfielder has shown optimism and enthusiasm for the challenge that awaits them in Dortmund.
