Dani Olmo has taken to Instagram to explain that he “just needs to rest for a few days” after injuring his knee on international duty with Spain.

Spanish media reported earlier today that Dani Olmo could be sidelined for several weeks with a reported knee sprain.

However, in an Instagram post, the Spanish attacker seemed to indicate that he will not be out for long.

“I feel fine, I just need to rest for a few days to recover from the problem I had yesterday,” Olmo wrote.

Whether that means Olmo will be fit for Leipzig’s upcoming Bundesliga clash with Augsburg next week remains to be seen.

The Spain international has enjoyed a strong start to the season, scoring five goals and adding an assist in four games so far.
