Overview

• Spain’s federation confirmed Olmo is out of the World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Bulgaria and will return to Barcelona for evaluation.
• Luis de la Fuente said Olmo arrived with fatigue and calf discomfort, trained for about 15 minutes, then stopped after feeling unwell.
• Initial reports from tests conducted with Spain point to a muscle injury in the left calf, with a minor tear and roughly a three‑week layoff reported but not yet confirmed by the club.
• That provisional timeline would put his availability for Girona, Olympiacos, and the Oct. 26 El Clásico in doubt.
• Barcelona sources express anger over Spain’s handling after sending a medical warning on Olmo’s condition, and the club has asked for closer workload monitoring of Pedri.
