Barcelona have suffered another injury setback as midfielder Dani Olmo has returned to the club after sustaining a calf injury while on international duty with Spain. The attacking midfielder felt discomfort during Spain’s recent training sessions, prompting medical examinations that confirmed the issue.
According to reports from Sport, Olmo’s injury is not considered long-term, but he is set to miss Barcelona’s crucial La Liga clash against Girona next weekend. The club’s medical team will continue to monitor his progress over the coming days before determining his recovery timeline.
Olmo’s latest setback comes at a frustrating time for both player and club. The 26-year-old has struggled with injuries throughout the current campaign, having only recently returned to full fitness. His creativity and versatility in the final third have been a major asset for Flick’s side whenever he has been available, making his absence a significant blow ahead of an important run of fixtures.
