Barcelona players believe that Flick’s training is not suitable for everyone; Olmo’s injury is difficult to solve

Hupu, November 9th, El Mundo reporter Juan I. Irigoyen and Irene Guevara wrote a Barcelona injury column.

The club's sporting department is still unable to explain the wave of injuries that Hansi Flick's team has suffered since the start of the season: a total of 15 players have been injured.

"We have a lot of players injured, some of them key players," the German coach sighed.

However, the majority of injuries were muscle strains - 12 cases, three times the number at the same time last season. And Olmo is emblematic of a problem that still remains unsolved at Gamble's training facility.

Olmo has a long history of injuries. Since joining Leipzig in the 2021-2022 season, the Catalan midfielder has suffered 11 injuries, 8 of which were muscle injuries.

However, even though he joined Barcelona for just over a year, half of these injuries occurred while playing for Barcelona. Olmo is very particular about his diet and even brings a chef with him whenever he travels.

"He even takes the chef with him on vacation," a source at the training base revealed. In addition to ensuring adequate rest, he will continue his daily training in the afternoon.

"What is now called 'stealth training,' Danny (Olmo's nickname) did it all himself," the source pointed out. However, both Olmo and Barcelona seem to have encountered some problems.

The injury problem obviously worries Flick, but the internal management of the training base is also worrying. Sources revealed that Flick originally wanted Raphinha to play, but due to the failure of the medical department and physical therapists to reach an agreement, he was ultimately unable to give him a minute of playing time.

Although doctors believe that Rafinha is not ready to compete, rehabilitation experts have a different opinion. And the initiator of all this was Frick. The German coach was forced to speed up Raphinha's comeback. However, his coaching staff insist that Flick is simply trying to further control internal issues.

"Rehabilitation experts are urging him to come back," asserted the coaching staff who worked with the German coach.

In addition, players in the locker room also understand that not all physical training methods are suitable for all players.

"It works for Pedri; but maybe not for others," one Barcelona player pointed out. Especially for Olmo, they don't seem to have found a suitable solution yet.
