Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo is a doubt for the upcoming La Liga Clásico against Real Madrid after being diagnosed with a calf injury on Monday.
“Olmo has a muscle injury in his left calf, without connective tissue involvement,” Barcelona said in a statement, though no timeline for his recovery was provided.

Spanish media suggest he could be sidelined for around two weeks, putting his availability for the October 26 clash at the Santiago Bernabeu in doubt.

Olmo had already left the Spanish national team camp last week due to the injury. Fellow Barca forward Ferran Torres also departed the Spain squad on Monday, suffering from muscular discomfort.

The Spain team confirmed Torres has a “muscle overload without any structural injury” and will miss their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria on Tuesday.
