Barcelona star midfielder Dani Olmo faces a month on the sidelines after the Spanish star dislocated his shoulder during the side’s game against Atletico Madrid.
Barca lead the La Liga standings with 37 points from 15 games, four above second-placed Real Madrid who have played a game lesser than their Catalan counterparts.
Olmo got on the scoresheet in Hansi Flick’s win over Diego Simeone in addition to strikes from Raphinha and Ferran Torres, while Alex Baena netted the Capital City side’s consolation in the Blaugrana’s 3-1 triumph.
“Olmo suffered a dislocation in his left shoulder during yesterday’s match against Atletico Madrid,” said Barca in a statement.
“Following the tests carried out, a conservative treatment has been chosen. The approximate recovery time is one month.”
Spain international Olmo sustained his injury while scoring during Barca’s 3-1 La Liga victory over Atletico on Tuesday, which pushed Barcelona four points clear at the top of the table.
The 27-year-old has faced multiple injury issues since joining the Catalan giants in 2024 from RB Leipzig.
Olmo is now sidelined along with Fermin Lopez, Gavi, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, just before a crucial Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt next week.
