To me it looks like he is now too afraid to get injured. I was talking about it last season why he was good. He dribbled in a way, which causes injuries but now he is a bit more afraid of those because the injury issues or trying to avoid them, that he becomes less useful.
We need that fearless Olmo back, BUT that version comes with injuries. His knee will get fucked up or some other part.
The close control used to be his biggest strength, but now he is afraid to do it. Avoiding the things which made him the best. It's like Messi avoiding dribbles. It would t make sense.
Also I think Messi himself said, he doesn't want to rest, because being afraid of injury makes you more likely to get injured. It's kinda voodoo thing to say, but it does make sense. Messi could never play at his level, if he was afraid of injuries. Same goes for Olmo. He is afraid and it's hurting him.
Either way, it's a messed up situation, if he wants to be good, he needs to chillax and take those injuries. They will happen. If he is afraid, he won't be effective. If he is afraid, he will be as effective as he would be on the hospital tho. So better just risk it.
We need him back this game, everybody is injrued.,
Its on him and RASHFORD to bring home the 3 points
