FC Barcelona's midfield options are being re-evaluated following an injury to key player Dani Olmo, potentially creating an opportunity for Israeli player Ori Yarin Goren. Olmo sustained a muscle tear during Barcelona's 4-2 Champions League loss to PSG and is expected to be sidelined for approximately four weeks. This absence has prompted analysis of potential replacements, with the Barcelona-focused outlet "barca universal" identifying several candidates.
Initially, Fermin Lopez, who competed with Olmo for a starting spot, was considered the most likely successor. Gavi has also been mentioned as a possibility, having been deployed in various midfield roles by manager Xavi. Frenkie de Jong might be moved to a more advanced position, though he prefers playing deeper to control the game. Another tactical suggestion involved shifting Pedri to an attacking role and pairing de Jong with Rodri in defensive midfield.
Beyond the first team, "barca universal" also looked at Barcelona's reserve team, Barça Athletic, for potential solutions. Abryma Tonkara was highlighted as a dynamic and physical player with strong attacking runs and a focus on exploiting open space. The Israeli midfielder Ori Yarin Goren was also named as a possible option to fill the void left by Olmo's injury.
"barca universal" described Goren as having left a positive impression during preseason. While typically a central midfielder, Goren is noted for his ability to play a more advanced role, possessing strong one-on-one skills and being effective in build-up play. The outlet suggested that Olmo's injury "may open the door for Goren."
