Dani Olmo Returns from Injury, Named in Squad for Borussia Dortmund Clash

FC Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo has been included in the squad for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Borussia Dortmund, marking his return from a right adductor injury sustained on March 27 against Osasuna.

Although Olmo is not expected to start, head coach Hansi Flick has indicated that he could feature for 20–25 minutes, as part of a gradual reintegration plan ahead of crucial upcoming fixtures, including the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid on April 26.

Barcelona heads into the second leg with a commanding 4–0 aggregate lead from the first match, giving Flick the opportunity to rotate his squad. However, the team will be without defender Alejandro Balde, who is sidelined with a biceps femoris injury. Gerard Martín has been called up to take his place.

Borussia Dortmund is also facing injury concerns. Captain Emre Can remains doubtful after missing training sessions, while Nico Schlotterbeck and Marcel Sabitzer have both been ruled out due to injuries.
