Having left the stadium injured on Sunday in Girona (1-4), Dani Olmo is expected to be out for around three or four weeks. A major blow for FC Barcelona.

A 7-0 against Valladolid and a 4-1 victory on the Girona pitch. FC Barcelona are in great shape, and the attack of Hansi Flick’s team is running at full speed with this attacking trio composed of Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, supported in particular by Pedri and Dani Olmo.

But a few days before the kick-off of the Champions League, and this trip to AS Monaco, the Blaugranas have recorded some bad news with the injury of Dani Olmo. Affected in the thigh, the Spanish international will be absent between three and four weeks according to Sport, between four and five weeks according to Fabrizio Romano.

Another nice goal for Olmo

It’s a disaster for Barça and for the player, who has been in great form since his arrival from Leipzig. Building on his excellent Euro with Spain, Dani Olmo has scored three goals in three La Liga games. On Sunday, he found the back of the net again, in great style (47th), before going off injured after an hour of play.

For Barça, it is to be hoped that Olmo is fully recovered after the next international break, as the Catalans will have to face FC Sevilla, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the space of a week, between October 20 and 27.
