"Dani Olmo will be out for around a month after dislocating his shoulder while scoring the second goal in Barcelona's 3-1 win against Atlético Madrid on Tuesday. Olmo, 27, fell awkwardly, unchallenged, as he turned past Jan Oblak in the 65th minute to give Barça the lead for the first time in the match. The Spain international was substituted immediately and tests at the club's training ground on Wednesday confirmed he has dislocated his shoulder."
"LaLiga then pauses for a short winter break, with Barça back in action on Jan. 3 against city rivals Espanyol, when Olmo could make his comeback. The injury comes just as Olmo was finding some form, scoring a brace in the weekend win over Alavés and then following it up with another goal against Atlético as Barça moved four points clear of Real Madrid, who play Athletic Club on Wednesday, at the top of LaLiga."
Dani Olmo dislocated his shoulder while scoring Barcelona's second goal in the 65th minute of a 3-1 win against Atlético Madrid and will be sidelined for around a month. He fell awkwardly when turning past Jan Oblak, was substituted immediately and club tests confirmed the dislocation. Olmo will miss Barcelona's four remaining fixtures in 2025—Real Betis, Eintracht Frankfurt, Osasuna and Villarreal—and could return on Jan. 3 against Espanyol after the winter break. The injury interrupts a run of form that included a brace against Alavés and a goal against Atlético as Barcelona moved clear atop LaLiga.
