Barcelona Boosted by Yamal’s Return as Dani Olmo Faces Two to Three Weeks Out

The club is calibrating minutes before Girona and Olympiacos to get key attackers ready for El Clásico.

Overview

  • FC Barcelona confirmed Dani Olmo has a left soleus injury, with recovery dependent on progress and widely reported estimates suggesting a two to three week absence that likely rules him out of the October 26 Clásico.
  • Spain’s federation withdrew Ferran Torres due to muscular overload after the Georgia match, with tests finding no anatomical injury and his availability for Girona to be decided by how he responds this week.
  • Lamine Yamal and Fermín López rejoined full training and are being considered for selection against Girona to rebuild rhythm ahead of Olympiacos and Real Madrid.
  • Raphinha’s hamstring recovery has not advanced as hoped, with reports indicating he is unlikely to face Girona as medical staff prioritize caution before stepping up his workload.
  • Goalkeeper Joan García remains on the sidelines following knee surgery and is not expected back for the Clásico, while reported PSG interest in Yamal is unconfirmed and sits against his long contract and high release clause.
