FC Barcelona has been to a brilliant start to their 2024/25 season. While much credit is deserved by star forwards Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal, a name has been playing a significant role in the club's success so far. Brought in as the dream signing of the summer transfer window, Dani Olmo has lived up to the hype his signing promised.

Barca's heavyweight star ready to start against Girona amidst unavailability concerns

Coming on the back of an extraordinary Euro campaign with Spain, being the top goal scorer, expectations were high from the versatile midfielder, and Olmo has been delivering the same so far. In his two appearances in the season, Olmo has already netted two goals while being an important factor in the club's offensive presence.

Being an invaluable asset of the Blaugrana club already, Flick's side is difficult to imagine without his presence. Thus, last week's reports were concerning for the club as well as the Culers. It was reported that after taking a heavy knock against Serbia in Spain's opening Nations League game, Olmo was ruled out for the game against Switzerland.

While Mundo Deportivo's report had suggested that the Catalan star isn't injured and is out for Spain's next game as a precautionary measure, his availability for Barca vs. Girona was being questioned. Not to forget, in the clash of the two Catalan clubs, Girona had outplayed FC Barcelona last season, being unbeaten with a 4-2 and 0-0 record.

Considering the position in which the Blaugrana club currently is, it wouldn't want to lose points in any fixture going forward, and thus, Olmo's availability becomes much more important. Fortunately enough, the recent reports have clearly mentioned that the Spanish superstar will be available to play against Girona.

Reports from Marca mentioned that Dani Olmo is fine and will 100% be available for the Girona game. In fact, it further read that he will not even undergo medical tests because he is fine. Having made a brilliant start in the new season, Olmo would want to continue it, being crucial to the club's overall success this season.
