Three players who can replace injured Dani Olmo in Barcelona squad

After suffering an injury against Girona, FC Barcelona forward Dani Olmo will be out for at least four weeks. The announcement was made public by the club on Monday, September 16, one day following their 4-1 victory away from home in La Liga. Dani Olmo, who has had an incredible start to his Barcelona career, will miss important La Liga and Champions League games as Barcelona looks to continue to improve under Hansi Flick.

Dani Olmo has a hamstring injury on his right side, according to tests done this morning. Barcelona's flawless start to the La Liga season continued on Sunday as they defeated Girona 4-1. Presently, the UEFA Champions League is going to start and Barcelona is in trouble as Dani Olmo is injured and will miss the first match of the UEFA Champions League campaign for Barcelona against AS Monaco. Hence on that note, we take a look at three players who can replace Dani Olmo in the team.

Three players who can replace injured Dani Olmo:

1. Ferran Torres

Ferran Torres is the most favourable man to start for Barcelona this week against AS Monaco in place of the injured Dani Olmo. The Spaniard would start on the left wing, while Raphinha would be expected to take over as the central attacking midfielder, similar to how Barcelona lined up in their opening two La Liga matches when Olmo was still pending registration.

2. Pablo Torre

Although he was one of Barcelona's standouts in the preseason, Pablo Torre has not played for the team since the beginning of the season, making him a far more like-for-like substitute for Olmo. Nevertheless, Hansi Flick has faith in the 21-year-old offensive midfielder, as seen by his decision to prevent his summer loan exit. Torre may have his opportunity soon given the injuries and plenty of fixtures.

3. Ansu Fati

Ansu Fati is another player who could be given a chance to play in Dani Olmo's absence. The 21-year-old is ready to play this week, either against Monaco or Villarreal, after recovering from his injury. Given his versatility, Flick might use him more in the upcoming games even if he wouldn't be forced into the starting XI immediately soon.
