Dani Olmo Out for Barca's Benfica Match

Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo is set to miss the Champions League match against Benfica due to a calf injury, specifically a right soleus strain, as confirmed by the club. Olmo's return will depend on further assessments, but initial reports suggest the injury is not a major concern. Despite his absence, Barcelona is currently second in their group and only needs one more win to secure a place in the Round of 16. Olmo's temporary registration was recently granted by Spain's National Sports Council after La Liga blocked it due to Financial Fair Play violations, allowing him to play until Barcelona's appeal is resolved. Meanwhile, coach Hansi Flick is expected to maintain the lineup used in the previous match against Getafe, where Barcelona was held to a 1-1 draw. The team is focused on advancing in the Champions League.
