Barcelona announced Dani Olmo will be sidelined roughly a month with a left adductor injury, ruling him out of Sunday's Clásico against Real Madrid.
- Barcelona confirmed tests showed Dani Olmo sustained a left adductor injury in Tuesday's 4-2 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, where he exited in the 27th minute.
- The club's medical statement estimated his recovery time at approximately one month.
- Olmo will miss Sunday's Clásico at Camp Nou, plus league fixtures against Alavés and Atlético Madrid and the Champions League match with Aston Villa.
- Barcelona said Eric García, Andreas Christensen and Roony Bardghji are also absent for the Clásico, with Jules Koundé doubtful.
- Physical therapist Antonio Perez said Vitinha's knee strike caused Olmo's adductor tear during the PSG defeat, citing his history of recurrent muscle injuries.
