Dani Olmo, who was signed by Barcelona during the summer transfer window, suffered an unfortunate injury. Under Hansi Flick’s management, Barcelona has remained unbeaten since the start of La Liga, showing strong performance this season. However, the injury curse that plagued the team during Xavi Hernandez’s tenure continues.
Olmo sustained an injury during Barcelona’s 4-1 victory against Girona. The club announced that Olmo suffered a hamstring injury during the win at Montilivi. Barcelona also confirmed that the top scorer of Euro 2024 will be out for four to five weeks, making his participation in the season’s first El Clasico on October 27 doubtful. Olmo’s current market value is noted at 60 million euros.
A positive development for Barcelona is that Fermin Lopez, who shone at the Paris Olympics, is ready to play and could feature in the match against Villarreal this weekend.
Hansi Flick will now need to devise a new plan for Thursday evening’s Champions League opener against AS Monaco.
