Olmo returns to Barca training, Bbost for Flick ahead of Mallorca clash

Dani Olmo has provided a timely boost for Barcelona manager Hansi Flick by returning to full training ahead of the team's vital La Liga clash against Mallorca at Son Moix. The Spanish international, who had been nursing a pubic overload injury, participated in Monday's group session after completing individual work on Sunday.
Olmo's potential availability comes as welcome news for Barcelona, who are looking to bounce back from a disappointing run of three consecutive league games without a win, including two defeats. Flick had opted to rest Olmo completely for the recent home defeat against Las Palmas, prioritising the player's recovery ahead of a congested December fixture list.
The decision to exercise caution with Olmo's fitness appears to have paid off, with the midfielder now in contention for a place in the squad travelling to the Balearic Islands. Barcelona's recent struggles in La Liga have heightened the importance of the Mallorca match, with the team desperate to regain ground in the title race.
Olmo's return to fitness could not have come at a better time for Flick, who may consider starting the versatile attacker given the high-stakes nature of the upcoming fixture. The German coach will be hoping Olmo's creativity and goal threat can help reignite Barcelona's domestic campaign as they enter a crucial period of the season.
