RB Leipzig has announced that midfielder Dani Olmo is currently sidelined due to an ankle injury. The club has confirmed that Olmo will miss the upcoming match against FC Barcelona at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Olmo, who was signed from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2019, made his debut for RB Leipzig in the 6-0 win over SV Werder Bremen in their 2019 UEFA Champions League quarter-final match. He has since gone on to make 15 appearances for the club and scored two goals in all competitions.

Despite being sidelined for now, Olmo remains a key player for RB Leipzig and his absence means that he may not be available for the team's next match with FC Barcelona. However, the club have expressed hope that he will return soon and are optimistic that he can help the team perform well in their remaining matches.

The injury update comes as RB Leipzig prepares for their next match against Manchester City at home on Saturday. They are confident that they can overcome any challenges and secure a point in the top flight of German football.

RB Leipzig head coach Christian Rittich has been impressed with Olmo's performances so far and believes that he will be a valuable addition to the squad. "I am delighted to see Dani playing so well," said Rittich. "He has shown great character and resilience during his time here, and I believe he will continue to contribute to our team's success."

RB Leipzig will need to find a way to get Olmo back into action before the match against FC Barcelona, but the club is determined to keep him on the pitch. With the injury affecting his fitness, it is hoped that Olmo will be able to play some games later this season, potentially helping to improve his performance and help the team towards their goal of achieving promotion to the Bundesliga.
