FC Barcelona have officially confirmed injury setbacks for two key players, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres, following their recent medical assessments. The news comes as a blow to Xavi Hernández’s side as they continue to navigate a packed fixture schedule.
According to the club’s medical report, Dani Olmo has sustained an injury to the soleus muscle in his left leg. Fortunately for Barcelona, the scan revealed no damage to the connective tissue, meaning the Spanish midfielder is expected to be sidelined for around two to three weeks. This timeline rules him out of several upcoming fixtures, including crucial La Liga and Champions League encounters, but he is expected to return before the end of the month if his recovery goes smoothly.
Meanwhile, Ferran Torres has suffered an overload in the hamstring muscles of his left leg. The winger’s issue is not considered serious, and he is likely to be available for selection in time for Barcelona’s important league clash against Girona. The club medical team will continue to monitor his progress in the coming days before giving the final green light.
