Barcelona’s creative duo ‘guaranteed’ to return to action vs Sevilla

Barcelona will be looking to maintain their top spot in the league table as they take on Sevilla next weekend.

After struggling with a series of injuries in the early parts of the campaign, the Catalans appear to be enjoying green shoots in recent days, with key players slowly returning to full fitness.

While the encounter against Sevilla could prove to be too early for the return of Gavi, Barcelona could boosted by the return of two other creative stars.

Fermin, Olmo to return vs Sevilla

According to Diario SPORT, Barcelona are likely to be boosted by the return of Fermin Lopez and Dani Olmo heading into the Sevilla game.

Both players are practically ‘guaranteed’ to play against Sevilla after spending a brief period on the sidelines.

Barça’s new signing Dani Olmo enjoyed a brilliant start to the campaign, racking up three goals in three matches. But his progress was halted by a muscle injury that has ruled out him of the last four league matches.

Fermin, too, saw his progress being halted by a similar muscle injury. That is why the youth graduate has played in only three matches this season.

A big boost for Barcelona?

The return of Fermin and Olmo could prove to be a major boost for Barcelona as they gear up for a tough run of fixtures.

Indeed, the Catalans will brace themselves for crucial encounters against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, shortly after the Sevilla game this month.

The presence of creative sparks such as Fermin and Olmo, to that end, could go a long way in boosting Barça’s chances of securing maximum points from these matches.
