Barcelona not expected to risk midfield star against Las Palmas

Barcelona are back in La Liga action this weekend against Las Palmas, but Dani Olmo will miss the match.

La Blaugrana were boosted by positive fitness news ahead of the match, with attacking duo Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal both passing fit.

The expectation is that the latter will immediately be placed back in the starting line-up with Torres on the bench against the Canarians.

With the wider injury list largely unchanged, Olmo was the main update for the hosts, and is expected to feature solely on the bench.

According to the latest update from Diario Sport, the Spain international did not fully participate in the last training of the week as his fitness is not yet 100%.

Ahead of a busy schedule in December, no risks will be taken regarding his return, despite a shortage of options in midfield due to Marc Casado's one-match suspension in the league for this match.
