According to Mundo Deportivo, Alexis Olmedo was one of the standout La Masia talents who caught Hansi Flick’s attention after he took over as Barcelona manager last year.
However, a stress fracture sidelined Olmedo for several months, delaying his opportunity to join the first team.
The good news is that the young defender has fully recovered since early 2025 and is now back in contention for a first-team spot. He was recently seen training with the senior squad following the international break.
According to the source, Alexis Olmedo is expected to step in for Pau Cubarsí and Ronald Araújo, who may both be unavailable for Barcelona’s match against Osasuna.
Reports indicate that Cubarsí missed training and is set to sit out the upcoming game, further increasing the likelihood of Olmedo getting an opportunity with the first team.
