He Leipzig is likely to do without Dani Olmo until the new year after the Catalan midfielder injured his shoulder, the coach said on Monday Marco Rose. Olmo separated the acromioclavicular joint between his collarbone and shoulder blade moments after coming off the bench in Leipzig’s 6-0 win over Cologne.
It was only Olmo’s third appearance since returning from a knee injury suffered while playing for Spain in early September and came three days after scoring against Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League. “I have a lot of confidence in the boys, in the squad, in our quality. It’s a shame he’s not there and now we just have to stay together without him until just before Christmas,” Rose said, calling Olmo a “key player.” irreplaceable”.
Leipzig play Wolfsburg on Tuesday in the German Cup and their last game before the winter break is on December 19 against Werder Bremen. Olmo will miss Leipzig’s last three Champions League group stage matches against Red Star, Manchester City and Young Boys, as well as an important Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund in early December. He is also unlikely to be available when the Spanish team plays against Cyprus on November 16 and Georgia three days later in qualifying for the European Championship.
