Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Spain national team coach Luis de la Fuente said that Olmo had arrived with discomfort and was not injured in training. He added that the former RB Leipzig star had to stop training after the first session today, October 10, and said (via BarcaUniversal):

"Dani Olmo arrived and is suffering from some discomfort and fatigue. Today he was not comfortable, and after 15 minutes, he stopped training and went to undergo some tests."

When quizzed about a possible conflict with Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, de la Fuente added that there was nothing and they respected each other despite the verbal exchanges in the media. He said:

"There is no such conflict with Hansi Flick or Barça, not at all. I have a very good relationship with all of them. What happens is that each one of us respects each other and has our space. There is no problem."

Luis de la Fuente was not happy with the comments from Hansi Flick after Lamine Yamal got injured in the previous international break.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was furious after Lamine Yamal injury

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was furious with Spain manager Luis de la Fuente after Lamine Yamal returned injured from the international break in September. He slammed the Spanish coach for forcing the teenager to play after taking painkillers and said (via ESPN):

"This is not taking care of players. Spain have the best team in the world, in every position they are unbelievably good. I am really sad about this [situation]. I never really spoke with [De la Fuente about it]. Maybe my Spanish is not good, his English is not good, so this is a problem."

"Normally, the communication, because we have more players there than just Lamine, could be better. I was also on this side as [the Germany] national team coach, so I know how hard this job sometimes is, but the communication with the clubs was always good."

Lamine Yamal is out once again with a groin injury and is set to be out for up to three weeks. He is expected to make the Barcelona team when they take on Real Madrid later this month.
