Impact Olmo tested positive for COVID-19, knocking him out of contention for Saturday's clash with Mainz.

Leipzig coach Marsch and goalkeeper positive for coronavirus

Leipzig will be without American coach Jesse Marsch and first-choice goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi for Wednesday’s Champions League game at Brugge after they contracted the coronavirus

Out until January Olmo suffered a torn thigh muscle that will sideline him until January.
Impact Including the Champions League, Olmo will miss the club's next seven matches until the Bundesliga's holiday break. The midfielder has featured exclusively off the bench in the club's last four outings, logging a combined 23 minutes as a substitute. Still, Olmo's absence will certainly stretch the club's midfield depth.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • Associated Press
Available Saturday Olmo (thigh) is available for Saturday's trip to Frankfurt, according to RB Leipzig's medical report.
Impact Olmo will be an option Saturday, after returning from a muscle issue in his thigh. The midfielder will likely be on the bench, but his availability should be a big boon as RB Leipzig deal with a plethora of injuries.
OCTOBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Out against Furth Olmo is out for Saturday's clash with Furth, according to RB Leipzig.
Impact Olmo will be out for Saturday's match with a muscular issue in his thigh. There's no specific timeline for his return, and Olmo's recovery hasn't shown any external progress yet, it's possible he's held out until after the international break. His next chance to return is an Oct. 30 clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.
OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Out for PSG trip Olmo will miss Tuesday's trip to PSG because of a thigh injury.
Impact Olmo still doesn't have a date to return, as he's been out since Sept. 18 with this injury. Muscle injuries usually take at least a month to return to training, but it looks like this one is lasting longer and there's a chance he isn't ready until November.
OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Misses match against Freiburg Olmo has been ruled out of the match against SC Freiburg on Saturday.
Impact Olmo will not take part in Saturday's fixture. The star midfielder could not recover in time from a thigh injury.
OCTOBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Saturday Olmo (thigh) will miss out versus Bochum on Saturday.
Impact Olmo missed the start of the season after returning from international duty and now will be sidelined for his third straight contest due to his thigh issue. When healthy, the attacking midfielder did start all three games and figures to rejoin the starting XI once fit.
OCTOBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Out with thigh injury Olmo will miss the next couple weeks with a thigh injury suffered last weekend.
Impact Olmo had started the team's last three matches, so he'll have to be replaced for the next three, at a minimum. He's had a bit of a slow start to the season, but Leipzig are plenty deep and will have guys like Emil Forsberg and Yussuf Poulsen to use in attacking roles.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Provides assist in loss Olmo provided one assist from one created in 72 minutes of Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Manchester City.
Impact Olmo is still working his way into form after missing the start of the season while recovering from his exertions over the summer and he at least set up one of Christopher Nkunku's three goals. What is likely a better sign for Olmo's future value is that his presence pushed Emil Forsberg onto the wing, so more of the attack should run through Olmo than it otherwise may have. Up next is a trip to Koln, which have conceded six goals in four matches.

Back in starting XI Olmo is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich, his first of the season.
Impact After a busy summer, Olmo is finally rested and ready to start again. He may not be ready for a full 90 given his absence, but either way, it's a matchup against Bayern Munich, meaning there may not be a ton of opportunities.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • Associated Press
In contention Sunday Olmo (not injury related) has picked up his training and could make his season debut against Wolfsburg on Sunday.
Impact Olmo has been rested through the first two matches of the season after participating in the 2020 Summer Olympics. If Olmo is given the green light, he could unseat Dominik Szoboszlai in the starting XI, though the club could also continue to ease Olmo back into action by having him come off the bench Sunday.

AUGUST 26, 2021 • Associated Press
Continues to be rested Olmo is not in the squad for Friday's match against Stuttgart, as he's yet to return to full training following his involvement in the Olympics.
Impact It makes sense that Olmo may not be considered until after the international break. He played in the Euros and Olympics for Spain and probably needs the rest. Leipzig have plenty of options, and while Olmo is one of their better options, it's important to get him rested for the season ahead.
