"Olmo, 27, left the Spain squad last week with the problem, missing the World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Bulgaria, to return to Barcelona for tests. Barça subsequently confirmed a "muscle injury in Olmo's left calf" on Monday but ruled out any serious damage. The Catalan club say his "recovery time will be dictated by his progress," with sources telling ESPN he is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks."
"Therefore, he will miss Saturday's LaLiga game against Girona and Olympiacos' visit in the Champions League next Tuesday. Barça then travel to the Santiago Bernabéu on Oct. 26 for the first Clásico of the season against early pace setters Madrid, with Olmo unlikely to have recovered in time for that match. It's the latest in a string of niggling injuries he has suffered since signing from RB Leipzig in a deal worth around €65 million ($75.2m) last summer."
