More Intense Than Mbappe! Olmo Insists on Three Training Sessions a Day to Recover Faster

Catalan media “Mundo Deportivo” reports that new Barcelona signing Olmo, in order to recover from injury as soon as possible, insists on having three training sessions a day, which is more intense than Mbappe’s two training sessions a day during his recovery period.

The report points out that on September 15th, Barcelona’s 26-year-old star Olmo was injured during the match against Girona. Before getting injured, he scored an excellent goal. Once his physical condition became apparent, the German coach quickly substituted him to prevent the injury from worsening. Subsequent tests confirmed that the attacker had suffered a muscle injury in his right leg. At that time, Barcelona’s official statement predicted that he would need approximately 4-5 weeks to recover from the injury.

Since then, this international player has focused on rehabilitation training, with the goal of returning to the team by late October and being in excellent form upon his return. Olmo received assistance from Spanish physiotherapist Raul Martinez. In recent weeks, he has been training twice a day, in the morning and afternoon. Recently, he has even increased to three training sessions a day, at 9 am, 12 pm, and 5 pm, while also undergoing physiotherapy.

This week, Olmo has already been able to wear his boots and feels very good. However, Barcelona has decided not to take any risks with him. The international break will be used by Olmo to adjust his condition, with the goal of playing in Barcelona’s La Liga match against Sevilla on October 24th, the 10th round, to get a feel for the game, and then to regain his best form in the third round of the Champions League against Bayern Munich and the subsequent two derbies (against Real Madrid and Espanyol).
