Barcelona: The length of Dani Olmo and Pedri’s absence is now known!
Dani Olmo, Pedri: absence time announced!
Barcelona endured a complicated night against Atletico Madrid. Dani Olmo, who shone with his stunning strike, fell to the ground clutching his left shoulder and immediately attracted the attention of the entire Camp Nou. It was a telling move for a player who was finally back to his best after a promising few weeks. Medical staff soon asked to replace him because they were worried about recurrence of the previous surgery.
according to sportsThe internal diagnosis was shocking: the club considered it “unlikely” that Olmo would return to action before 2026. Further testing is needed to determine the full extent of the injury, but all signs point to him being out for a few months, potentially ruling out the possibility of him missing the entire season. It’s a major blow for a player Hansi Flick considers a key element of his tactical setup.
“Pedri is fine, he’s just a little tired. Dani Olmo is dealing with a shoulder problem… we’ll see.”
Still, Flick’s words did little to ease Olmo’s anxiety, with his season now in jeopardy.
