Overview

• FC Barcelona issued a medical report confirming a left soleus muscle injury for Dani Olmo with no connective involvement and no set return date.
• Olmo has left Spain’s national team camp and returned to Barcelona to begin treatment under the club’s medical staff.
• His participation in next week’s Champions League match against Olympiacos is reported as almost ruled out.
• Journalist Javi Miguel (AS) says a Clásico return on October 26 is almost impossible, while other reports suggest a 2–3 week window that could point to November 2 against Elche.
• Olmo had recently been starting regularly despite modest form, leaving Hansi Flick to weigh alternative options for upcoming fixtures.
