Barcelona have received encouraging news regarding Dani Olmo's fitness following his injury while on international duty with Spain.

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente revealed that Olmo is dealing with a "bad knock" and might miss the upcoming match against Switzerland.

Mundo Deportivo has reported that Olmo underwent additional tests to assess the extent of his knee injury. These tests indicated that he had only sustained a strong bruise rather than a more severe injury. This update will be reassuring for Barcelona, who are already coping with injuries to Fermin Lopez and Robert Lewandowski during this international break.

When will Dani Olmo return for Barcelona?

Despite the positive update, it remains uncertain whether Olmo will participate in Spain's next game. Given his current condition, it would be unwise to risk him if he is not fully fit. Barcelona will be keen for him to recover completely and be ready for their upcoming La Liga match against Girona in a week's time.

As the international break gets over, it is expected that by the end of September, Olmo may be fit enough to feature for his new club. The Spanish player had an outstanding Euro campaign, helping his country to win the title.

After his move to Barcelona from RB Leipzig, the 26-year-old played two matches for the Blaugranas, scoring 2 goals in the match. He played in Friday's Nations League match against Serbia but the knock means his return for Barcelona may be delayed.

Barcelona fans will be relieved to hear that Olmo's injury is not as serious as initially feared. The club will monitor his recovery closely and make decisions based on his progress over the coming days.

The priority for both the Spanish national team and Barcelona is Olmo's long-term health and fitness. Ensuring he recovers properly before returning to play will be crucial for maintaining his performance levels throughout the season.
