Impact Olmo will be shelved for the fourth consecutive contest due to his lingering thigh problem. Prior to his absence, the forward had started seven consecutive contests in which he recorded two goals on 22 shots (nine on target), three assists, 11 crosses (two accurate) and 14 corners. With Olmo unavailable, Dominik Szoboszlai should take on a bigger role on freekicks and corners.

Scores, assists in win Olmo scored one goal from four shots (two on goal) and logged one assist from one chance created during Wednesday's 7-0 win over Costa Rica.

Impact Olmo is an early-tournament favorite to start on the wing for manager Luis Enrique and he paid off that trust with a fine performance. What's even more impressive is that he only just returned to the lineup for his club in November after returning from a knee injury, so this is his third start in his last four games for club and country after spending two months in recovery. If he can continue to be a source for goals in a lineup that has yet to put its trust in Alvaro Morata, then this could be another explosion from many in Olmo's growing talents.

Impact Olmo returned after seven weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury and finished out the final moments of the contest. He might need a week or two more to be ready to start again, though Christopher Nkunku scored on his return from injury in Saturday's game and could see his role increase sooner.

Returning to squad Olmo (knee) made the squad list for Saturday's match against Augsburg.

Impact Olmo returns after seven weeks out due to a torn ligament in his knee. A deep attacking group doesn't leave much room to play but Olmo had two assists in five starts before his injury and should be able to return as a starter soon.

Traveled to Augsburg Olmo (knee) was in the traveling squad for Saturday's trip to Augsburg.

Impact Olmo was reported as a game-time decision, though the fact he is traveling is a strong sign he's leaning towards being available. It's uncertain what role Olmo would have under new boss Marco Rose, though he would likely see Timo Werner moving up top with Andre Silva falling out of the starting XI.

Could play Saturday Olmo (knee) trained with his team in advance of Saturday's match against Augsburg and will be a game-time decision to play, his club announced Friday.

Remains absent Olmo (knee) is still out ahead of Tuesday's match against Celtic.

Impact Olmo is now a month into recovering from a partially torn ligament in his knee, which should give him a couple more weeks of rehab before he's able to play. That being said, we may not see much of Olmo until November as he prepares for the World Cup. When he was fit, Olmo logged two assists in five starts to open the season and he should make an excellent partner for Christopher Nkunku upon his return.

Impact Olmo has assisted twice in the first two matches of the Bundesliga season as he looks to finally put together a fully healthy campaign.

Impact Olmo provided an assist in the first match of the season, setting up Christopher Nkunku for what proved to be a crucial goal to secure the draw.

Limited role due to injury Olmo provided three goals and assists during 19 appearances (seven starts) in an injury riddled season.

Impact Olmo struggled with muscular injuries throughout the season, missing multiple months with a variety of injuries. When on the pitch Olmo was one of the best attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga, something he showed in the 2020/21 campaign where he managed 14 goal contributions. If Olmo can return to the pitch consistently he clearly has the talent to be one of the top options in the Bundesliga in the 2022/23 season.
