RB Leipzig is only in eleventh place in the table due to enormously inconsistent performance. After all, the return of midfield star Dani Olmo, who should enrich the offensive with his creativity, is getting closer.
After a pre-season riddled with injuries, Dani Olmo was in good form early on and set up a goal on each of the first two matchdays. A little later, however, the Spaniard was injured again and has been absent since then due to a torn inner ligament. Now at least a return seems to be in sight. BILD already headlined “Leipzig star Olmo before comeback”. Players and club still have to bring a little patience with them. The creative player still needs some time after a five and a half week injury break. Accordingly, the club will miss both against Hertha this Saturday and against HSV in the cup next Tuesday.
The comeback should therefore fall on the weekend after next, when the Leipzig team have to play in Augsburg on October 22nd. For Olmo, it also means he has five Bundesliga matchdays and two Champions League games left to qualify for a place in Spain’s World Cup squad. The task should not be easy, since Olmo will probably have to be content with joker bets for the time being. But his standing in the national team could be high enough to still be allowed to drive.
