Overview

• The Spanish federation confirmed Olmo will miss the qualifiers against Georgia and Bulgaria and return to Barcelona for evaluation.
• Coach Luis de la Fuente said Olmo trained for only 15 minutes before feeling calf discomfort, prompting the decision to release him.
• Barcelona’s medical tests are pending, but multiple reports indicate he is unlikely to face Girona after the international break.
• If scans confirm a muscle tear, journalists report a potential absence of around three weeks, leaving his status for Oct. 26 at Real Madrid uncertain.
• Local reports say Barcelona are frustrated with Spain’s handling after the club flagged fatigue, as the injury adds to a list that already includes long-term absentee Gavi, with Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Fermín López expected back soon.
