Dani Olmo Memortes Ingunio in the groin while Barcelona beat Osasuna 3-0 in La Liga Return
Barcelona consolidated their place on top of La Liga with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Osasuna Thursday, even if they were left to sweat on the suitability of the attacker Dani Olmo.
The 26 -year -old scored the second goal of Barcelona of the evening from the penalty, but went down with a groin injury shortly after and was unable to continue. He was able to leave the field and was replaced by Fermanin Lopez just under half an hour from the game.
Olmo has fought with an injury since he joined Barcelona by the German team RB Leipzig in a transfer of 60 million dollars ($ 62 million; £ 50 million) last summer. In September he underwent a knee tendon injury that kept him out for a month, then he suffered a calf injury in January who saw him lose five games.
Spain International scored seven goals and provided five assists in 27 games for Barcelona this season.
Hansi Flick’s team had most of the game control and opened the score in the 11th minute. An elegant move orchestrated by Frenkie de Jong culminated in the full -back Alejandro Balde who shot a low cross through the six yard box that was touched home by Ferran Torres.
Olmo was then demolished by Osasuna’s goalkeeper Sergio Herrera inside the penalty area. Herrera saved Olmo’s initial football, although the referee Mateo Busquets Ferrer ordered to be taken up by the penalty after Jon Moncayola di Osasuna had been judged in the box when football was taken.
Olmo has not made mistakes the second time, sending Herrera the wrong way to double the command.
Robert Lewandowski arrived 3-0 on the 77th minute, directing a cross by Lopez at home to score his 23rd championship goal of the season.
The victory was the eighth of Barcelona in a row in La Liga and he freed them three points from Real Madrid on top of the table.
