Dani Olmo trains with Barcelona but without Vitor Roque

A day of news at Barcelona. After the Catalan club announced the signing of Dani Olmo on Friday, he trained as a new player on Saturday. The former RB Leipzig player was the main novelty in Barcelona's training session. The player, who has returned to his former home ten years later, could be seen smiling.

Dani Olmo took part in Saturday's first training session under Hansi Flick, in which Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres also took part, while Vitor Roque has been ruled out due to "discomfort and fever".

Pedri Gonzalez and Frenkie de Jong are still recovering from injury after the European Championship. Ronald Araujo, who underwent surgery at the end of July for a hamstring injury, is also out longer.

Another notable absence from training was that of Brazilian forward Vitor Roque, officially due to "malaise and fever", according to the club. However, he could be negotiating his departure from Barcelona.

The Catalan team are currently preparing for the Joan Gamper Trophy, which will be played against Monaco on Monday. On the same day, Dani Olmo, the second signing of the Flick project, is expected to be officially presented to the media.
