On Saturday, Dominic Thiem posted a picture alongside RB Leipzig and Spanish national team midfielder Dani Olmo on his Instagram handle. Thiem accompanied the picture with a cheeky caption, where he called himself and Olmo ‘great footballers’.
“Just two great footballers on a picture
Great to meet you today & get well soon @daniolmo7,” the Austrian wrote on Instagram.
Dominic Thiem is currently on the sidelines due to a wrist injury that he picked up at the Mallorca event in June. The 28-year-old has ended his 2021 season because of the serious nature of the problem, focusing all of his time on rehabilitation and recovery.
Like Thiem, Olmo is also dealing with an injury – to his thigh – which will keep him out of Spain’s semifinal tie against Italy in the Nations League this week. The Spaniard suffered a muscle fibre tear that could keep him out for weeks, Leipzig coach Jesse Marsch confirmed last week.
Dominic Thiem also posted a couple of pictures via his Instagram stories on Sunday, capturing the beauty of the Austrian countryside. The first picture showed two swans swimming in a lake, and Thiem addressed them with a “Hey there”.
Wimbledon due to his wrist injury, Dominic Thiem initially held out hope that he could return at Flushing Meadows to defend his US Open title. However, complications in his recovery led the Austrian to withdraw from the entire 2021 season.
Indian Wells next week, which means he will drop another 1,000 ranking points.
