Luis de la Fuente plays with Barça’s nerves!

Luis de la Fuente pushes Barça to the limit!

Tensions are running high between FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team. After the Lamine Yamal controversy—he was recalled in September despite aggravating an injury while on international duty—it’s now the Dani Olmo saga straining relations between both camps. Called up by Luis de la Fuente even though Barça had reported a muscular issue, the Spanish midfielder was unable to train for the first few days and then tried, unsuccessfully, to return on the eve of the match against Georgia. The result: his pain intensified, and he will now miss the next three weeks, including the Clásico.

This latest episode has sparked “indignation” within the Catalan club, especially as the coach’s statements contradict those of the Federation. “Dani was in perfect condition,” he insisted, even as the RFEF acknowledged the player showed signs of muscular fatigue. The muddled messaging is infuriating Barça, who blame De la Fuente for his lack of caution and discernment. The impression is growing that the Spanish coach is toying with the nerves of the Blaugrana club, risking even more damage to an already fragile relationship.
