Official: Dani Olmo out against Switzerland after taking a hard hit

Dani Olmo won't be playing in the Nations League match against Switzerland. The Spanish attacking midfielder got a strong blow to his right knee in the last game against Serbia, so coach Luis de la Fuente decided to leave him out of the squad for the game against the Swiss team in Geneva. Medical tests confirmed that Olmo only has a strong bruise, ruling out any joint injury, so his absence is just a precaution. Barring any major setbacks, the player from Terrassa should be fit and ready for Hansi Flick to use him against Girona on September 15 at Montilivi.

Without Dani Olmo, Spain will be aiming for another victory in the Nations League. Luis de la Fuente hinted at the press conference before the match against Switzerland that he might choose Ayoze or Joselu to replace the injured Barça player.

Even though Dani Olmo won't be playing against Switzerland, he will still be with the national team and will head back to Barcelona with his Barça teammates after the game in Geneva. Olmo's physical issues aren't the only ones faced by a Barça player during this break. Let's not forget that Fermín got injured with the Under-21s and will be out for three weeks, and Lewandowski had to be substituted in Scotland-Poland due to some discomfort, but he has since recovered.
