FC Barcelona have confirmed that medical tests found an injury to Dani Olmo's left adductor muscle. The club said the problem followed a collision with an opponent during the 4-2 Champions League defeat by Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona expect the midfielder to be unavailable for around one month. That is the club's official estimate at publication time; the precise return date will depend on his recovery.
The absence immediately affects Barcelona's rotation after their first defeat of the season in Paris. ON MEDIA.AL does not present any return date as guaranteed beyond the club's estimate.
