Bad news for Dani Olmo before the Clásico

The same newspaper explained that the player suffered a muscle injury during the match against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, a game that ended in a 4-2 defeat for Barcelona.

Initial examinations revealed a problem with the muscle in his left thigh. Olmo will have to undergo further tests to determine the length of his absence.

Initial estimates suggest that he could be suffering from an adductor tear, which could keep him out of action for between 4 and 5 weeks.

The injury comes before the Clásico, with uncertainty also surrounding the availability of Jules Koundé and Eric García after they suffered physical problems against Real Betis.
