"FC Barcelona celebrated a crucial 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Tuesday night, courtesy of goals from Raphinha, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres. However, it came at a cost for the Blaugrana as they saw Olmo taken off with a hurt shoulder just when he was looking to be back at his best. Olmo unlikely to play again until 2026"
"Now, according to AS, Olmo is suffering from a shoulder dislocation that will force him to spend a minimum of four weeks out. It would mean that the Spanish playmaker will not play again in 2025 and will only make his comeback in January 2026. The 27-year-old midfielder found the back of the net for Barça against Atleti in the second half with a well-placed left-footed shot."
"Doctor Ricard Pruna had to come onto the pitch to reduce the joint, but the midfielder's pain was obvious, and he had to be substituted in the 67th minute for Ferran. The first on-site examinations leave little doubt: Olmo is suffering from a shoulder dislocation that will force him to spend a minimum of four weeks out. In any case, the full diagnosis and recovery timeline will not be confirmed until the tests scheduled for today."
FC Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 with goals from Raphinha, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres. Olmo scored in the second half with a left-footed shot but fell awkwardly and dislocated his shoulder after landing off balance. Doctor Ricard Pruna reduced the joint on the pitch and Olmo was substituted in the 67th minute. Initial on-site examinations indicate a shoulder dislocation requiring a minimum four-week absence, which would rule Olmo out for the remainder of 2025 and delay his return until January 2026 pending further tests. Olmo previously underwent shoulder surgery at RB Leipzig and missed two months. Barcelona remain without Fermin Lopez ahead of the Eintracht Frankfurt tie.
