Barcelona Confirm Dani Olmo Soleus Injury as Lamine Yamal Returns to Training

Medical projections suggest a 2–3 week absence for Olmo, with Lamine Yamal targeted for limited minutes against Girona to build toward the Clásico.

Overview

  • FC Barcelona issued an official medical statement confirming Dani Olmo has a muscle injury in the soleus of his left leg, with recovery time dependent on progress.
  • Reporting from AS and others indicates Olmo is unlikely to face Real Madrid on October 26, with a possible return penciled in for early November against Elche.
  • Lamine Yamal and Fermín López rejoined full training, and the plan is to reintroduce Yamal with minutes versus Girona before stepping up against Olympiacos.
  • Raphinha remains a significant doubt for Girona after working individually and has yet to receive medical clearance, per SPORT via Barca Universal.
  • Separate reports claim PSG’s owners view Yamal as a priority despite his Barcelona deal to 2031 and a reported €1 billion release clause, a stance not reflected in any club announcement.
