"But, according to Helena Condis, there is some relief for Barcelona as far as the severity of Olmo's injury is concerned. Tests conducted today on the playmaker at the Ciutat Esportiva have shown only a small tear in the soleus muscle of his left leg. As such, Olmo's time on the sidelines is expected to be shorter than what was initially anticipated, with the 27-year-old set to be out of action for 2-3 weeks."
"It certainly rules him out of the upcoming game against Girona and the subsequent Champions League clash versus Olympiacos. However, the journalist specifies that, as things stand, Barcelona have not yet ruled him out of El Clasico, on 26 October at the Santiago Bernabeu. An official statement on Olmo's injury and time out is expected to be made soon by Barcelona."
"The Blaugrana have had a number of injury problems in the first two months of the season, losing important players like Gavi, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Fermin Lopez, and now Olmo. Hopefully things start to ease up in the coming weeks, with the trio of Lamine, Raphinha, and Fermin expected to return soon, and Olmo's situation not as worse as initially feared."
Dani Olmo returned to Barcelona from the Spain camp after sustaining a calf injury during training. Initial reports suggested a possible three to four week absence if a major tear had occurred. Medical tests at the Ciutat Esportiva revealed only a small tear in the soleus muscle of his left leg. The prognosis indicates a shorter layoff of approximately two to three weeks. Olmo will miss the upcoming matches against Girona and Olympiacos but has not been formally ruled out for the El Clasico on 26 October. An official club statement is expected soon. Barcelona have endured multiple injuries this season to key players.
