Barcelona’s upcoming La Liga encounter against Las Palmas could see the return of multiple injured stars, including Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres.
Both players appear to have recovered from their knocks and could make their return against the Canaries. Even Eric Garcia might start, especially with Inigo Martinez being a doubt for the clash.
But while coach Hansi Flick is set to bring back these stars, he might have to make do with the absence of another, in the form of Dani Olmo.
Olmo picks up discomfort ahead of Las Palmas tie
According to Diario SPORT, Olmo is feeling a little discomfort heading into the Las Palmas game.
It appears the former RB Leipzig playmaker did not train with the teammates at the same pace due to the discomfort and could thus be a doubt this weekend.

However, Olmo is not completely ruled out of the Las Palmas tie. The report suggests the Spaniard might still make the squad, but he won’t be a part of the starting XI.
Who will replace Olmo?
With Olmo potentially starting on the bench, coach Hansi Flick is likely to opt for Pablo Torre in the creative midfield position.
The former Racing starlet has barely disappointed this season despite his limited game-time, notably racking up three goals and an assist.
Torre, therefore, deserves more action and the Las Palmas game, to that end, could be an ideal opportunity for the midfielder to prove himself further.
Flick, though, has no shortage of options, with Gavi, Fermin Lopez and even Ferran Torres competing for the same spot.
