Barcelona have been dealt another injury blow, as the club fears that midfielder Dani Olmo may be sidelined until early 2026 following a shoulder dislocation during Barcelona’s 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Dani Olmo put the team ahead with a stunning goal, but his celebration quickly turned into concern as he fell awkwardly and clutched his shoulder in obvious pain. Medical staff rushed to his side, and he was promptly substituted, underscoring the seriousness of the incident. Fans watched nervously as Olmo left the pitch, aware that his injury could have major implications for the squad’s lineup and strategy in the crucial matches ahead.
According to Mundo Deportivo and Diario Sport, the club fears Olmo has dislocated his shoulder and could miss at least three weeks. The injury is particularly concerning, as Olmo previously suffered a similar dislocation at RB Leipzig that required surgery. The medical staff is carefully monitoring the situation to prevent further complications.
After the win, head coach Hansi Flick confirmed that Olmo will undergo detailed medical tests. Flick admitted that losing the midfielder would pose another significant challenge for the squad, which is already managing multiple injuries.
Barcelona’s Upcoming Fixtures Without Olmo
The team will finish 2025 with key La Liga matches against Real Betis, Osasuna, and Villarreal, alongside a crucial UEFA Champions League tie against Eintracht Frankfurt. Their attacking options could be significantly impacted if Olmo is unavailable for these important games.
