La Liga’s Barcelona defeated Atlético Madrid 3-1, but suffered a serious setback. Key midfielder Dani Olmo injured himself in the 65th minute, reportedly dislocating his shoulder. He had to be taken off the field in pain after falling awkwardly.
Media outlets like Mundo Deportivo, Diario Sport, and Fabrizio Romano have confirmed the injury. Olmo is expected to be out for at least three to four weeks, meaning he won’t return until January 2026. This rules him out for the remainder of Barcelona’s matches in 2025.
Olmo previously dislocated the same shoulder while playing for RB Leipzig, which required surgery. Initial tests are taking place, raising concerns about whether he will need a longer recovery period.
