Suiza - España: Troubling Times for FC Barcelona Amid FIFA Break

The FIFA virus strikes again, leaving FC Barcelona in a precarious position as midfielder Dani Olmo misses training with España. This latest setback means he will not play against Suiza in Geneva, adding to the team's worries. After losing Fermin López in the U21 setup, Barcelona faces another potential injury with Olmo's absence.

This situation becomes increasingly dire with a chaotic schedule ahead for Hansi Flick's men; they'll play seven games in three weeks, with five on the road. Currently, Olmo is pivotal to the strategy, enhancing Barça's offensive prowess with only a few appearances. Missing him against Girona would severely impact the team.

Olmo joined Barça this summer from RB Leipzig for €55 million ($61 million) but missed initial matches due to registration issues over financial fair play compliance. He made his debut in a victory against Rayo Vallecano, scoring the winning goal, and netted another in a 7-0 win over Real Valladolid before the international break. With injuries to key players like Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, and Marc Bernal, the team's midfield depth is in jeopardy.
