The injury to his left adductor will keep him out for about a month

Dani Olmo was substituted in the 27th minute after a challenge with Vitinha. Barça’s medical staff later confirmed an injury to his left adductor and an expected absence of around a month.

The 4-2 defeat to París Saint-Germain adds another setback to the list of blaugrana absences.

Another injury in Olmo’s career

Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde were already in the treatment room. Andreas Christensen is also among Barça’s absentees.

Olmo had not been sidelined since December 3 last year, when a shoulder injury kept him off the pitch for a month. The current injury ends his best run without physical problems in a Barça shirt: about a year.

Since his arrival at Can Barça in the summer of 2024, the Terrassa-born player has been in the treatment room six times. His first months with the team were marked by injuries that prevented him from playing regularly.

PSG also lose key players

The night brought a more serious injury for Luis Enrique’s team. Kvaratskhèlia has torn his anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the rest of the season.

Dembélé and Marquinhos have suffered injuries to their right thighs. The length of their recovery has not been specified, but they will be out for several weeks.
