Barcelona's Dani Olmo to miss El Clasico with injury against PSG

Summary

Dani Olmo is set to miss Barcelona's upcoming match against Real Madrid due to a potential injury sustained during a game against Paris Saint-Germain. Olmo, who was injured in the 27th minute following a collision, is currently experiencing discomfort and awaits an MRI scan to confirm the extent of his injury. If diagnosed with a tear in his left adductor muscle, he could be sidelined for four to five weeks. This injury adds to Barcelona's selection concerns ahead of a critical stretch of fixtures, as key defender Jules Kounde is also unavailable. The timeline for Olmo's recovery will be clearer following the results of the MRI scan scheduled for Wednesday in Barcelona.
