Fermin is injured, each body: Olmo will play continuously, Rafinia may also play the front midfielder

Barcelona midfielder Fermin was injured against Getafe, and he is expected to be injured for three weeks. The Daily Sports Daily has included Barcelona's possible response plans during this period.

Felmin's absence provides Olmo with the opportunity to continue playing, and the former Leipzig midfielder has been stressing that he needs more playing time to get back to his best. He performed very well against Getafe. As a player from Barcelona's youth training camp, Olmo performed well in a small space. He is one of the midfielders who is best at clearing the ball when he was partnering with Pedri, and is also a midfielder with great goals. In the game against Getafe, he scored with a assist from Rashford and also assisted Ferran Torres with a wonderful heel pass.

Barcelona's next matches include Thursday's match against Real Oviedo, Sunday's home match against Real Sociedad and the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain on October 1. If nothing unexpected happens, Olmo will be the first choice, but Frick also has a favorite option, which is to move Rafinia to the front midfielder.

This is already a solution that Frick tried, but it has become more complicated due to Yamal's absence. Rafinia is not expected to play against Real Oviedo, but he may make a appearance against Real Sociedad and prepare for the Champions League. With Lamin's absence, Rafinia is currently mainly the right winger, which is where Frick also tried to get Rashford to take over when he was against Getafe. When Yamal returns, it is not ruled out that Rafinia will be the midfielder at some moments, while Rashford is active on the left wing, which has been happening against Levante this season.

Frick's other obvious choices in the midfield are Dros and Tony Fernandez, the former is the biggest preseason discovery that is loved by Frick, but has not played for a few weeks, and the good news is that he is expected to return to normal training this week. Dro is a special midfielder who, like Pedri and Iniesta, always finds the best solution for every game to make football look simple. Tony is another type of front midfielder, but he is also deeply loved by Flick. He is a player with a special relationship with goals, full of personality and very active in both ball possession and pressing. Against Getafe, he sat on the bench and failed to play. In Team B, he has proven that he is in a very good shape.

Flick has also tried to have other players in the existing roster serve as front midfielders. For example, in his first few games at Barcelona, ​​Pedri briefly appeared at the top of the three midfielders. In this case, Frick can choose to combine Casador, De Jong and Pedri in the midfield, and even introduce Bernal as a defensive midfielder or insider, which tends to be a 4-3-3 formation rather than the current 4-2-3-1.

Flick also let Garvey serve as the front midfielder after he returned from injury, and De Jong also tried this position after the ankle problem was solved. However, since Garvey has confirmed that he will undergo arthroscopy, De Jong will not be the choice for this position. Finally, Ferran is also an occasional player placed in this position by Frick, especially when multiple strikers need to be concentrated to reverse the game.
