Spain is waiting Daniel Olmo before the match against Switzerland. The team faces the Swiss on the second day of the League of Nations and he does so with the uncertainty of whether the Barcelona footballer, fundamental in Luis de la Fuente’s plans, will be able to play. As revealed by the coach himself, the playmaker did not train with the rest of the group in training before the match, so everything indicates that he will not be there.
After starting the competition – in which we are defending the title – with a draw, Spain is looking for what would be his first victory in the group. The world champion faces Switzerland, with the aim of scratching the first three points in Geneva. However, there is a doubt that can excessively condition the composition presented by the coach on the field.
After getting that position in the European Cup and becoming a differential player in Flick’s Barça, Dani Olmo is the big doubt that Spain presents for the capital duel against Switzerland. Everything indicated that he would be the false nine of the team, but after suffering a hard blow against Serbia, he could fall from the eleven.
Luis de Fuente himself stressed in a press conference that the Catalan might not be available for the clash.Dani Olmo has a hard blow from the last match and we don’t know how he’s going to feel by tomorrow. In any case, we have two specific attackers and a clear plan that we want to deploy on the pitch,” the coach stressed.
After the draw in Belgrade, the team is forced to win in Geneva if they do not want to lose the top spot in the group. But there is one of their best players who could fall in this match. Luis de la Fuente said he does not know how he will do it, as Olmo has not trained with the rest of his teammates: “We do not know how he will be, but the game may invite us to make some changes.”
Dani Olmo, wild card for Spain
The coach, who is in favour of few changes, will have to restructure his team before the clash against the Swiss. This will be especially in attack where he will have to make more variations, given the absence of Mikel Oyarzabal. Without Morata – injured – De la Fuente had opted for the txuri-urdin, but he was injured during the duel played in Belgrade.
The footballer left Rajko Matic on crutches. His worrying injury led him to leave the camp and travel to San Sebastian to receive treatment and begin his convalescence. Therefore, everything indicated that against the Swiss it would be Olmo who would act as a false nine, with Pedri And Fabien behind.
However, Dani Olmo’s discomfort opens the door to Joselu. The Al-Gharafa forward is the only man De la Fuente would have for the striker position, as Olmo is aiming to be eliminated. Although it cannot be ruled out that he uses Ayoze Perez. The new Villarreal player has already come on to replace Oyarzabal against Serbia and could feature at the start if Olmo’s injury is confirmed.
