Dani Olmo

Dani Olmo is a soccer player who plays for the Spanish national team. He is currently newsworthy because he was left on the bench by coach De la Fuente during a recent friendly match between Spain and Serbia. This decision is part of De la Fuente's strategy to finalize the team's preparations for the upcoming 2026 World Cup. While other players like Laporte and Baena were given starting positions, Olmo, along with Huijsen, Ferran, and Pedri, remained substitutes. This indicates that his position in the starting lineup for the World Cup is not guaranteed, making his performance in future matches crucial for securing a spot. The coach is using these friendly matches to assess different player combinations and tactical approaches, highlighting the competitive environment within the Spanish squad as they approach the major tournament.
