Overview

• The Spanish federation ruled Olmo out of qualifiers against Georgia and Bulgaria and said he will return to Barcelona for tests.
• Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said Olmo arrived with calf discomfort, trained for about 15 minutes, then reported pain and stopped.
• Initial club and media reports point to a soleus injury with an estimated three-week recovery, leaving his El Clasico availability in doubt.
• Reporting in Spain says Barcelona are frustrated with how the situation was handled, and some within the club also question Olmo’s decision to train.
• The setback likely keeps him out against Girona and Olympiacos, and Barcelona have asked Spain to closely monitor Pedri’s workload to prevent further issues.
