Impact Olmo had started the team's last three matches, so he'll have to be replaced for the next three, at a minimum. He's had a bit of a slow start to the season, but Leipzig are plenty deep and will have guys like Emil Forsberg and Yussuf Poulsen to use in attacking roles.

Provides assist in loss Olmo provided one assist from one created in 72 minutes of Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Olmo is still working his way into form after missing the start of the season while recovering from his exertions over the summer and he at least set up one of Christopher Nkunku's three goals. What is likely a better sign for Olmo's future value is that his presence pushed Emil Forsberg onto the wing, so more of the attack should run through Olmo than it otherwise may have. Up next is a trip to Koln, which have conceded six goals in four matches.
