Barcelona, Dani Olmo and Hansi Flick
20 October 2026
Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo suffered an injury during the club’s 4-2 Champions League defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, leaving his participation in Sunday’s El Clásico against Real Madrid uncertain. The setback comes at a difficult time for Barcelona, who are already managing injuries in defence.
Olmo was withdrawn in the first half after experiencing pain following a collision. Fermín López replaced him and subsequently provided the assist for Xavi Espart’s equalising goal. Flick confirmed that Olmo had taken a knock but said medical examinations were needed before the club could establish the extent of the problem. No diagnosis or expected absence has been announced in the supplied coverage.
