The Spanish midfielder had put Barcelona ahead with a well-taken goal in the 65th minute, but the celebration quickly turned to concern as he landed awkwardly on his left side while sliding, immediately clutching his shoulder in pain. Medical staff rushed onto the pitch before he was substituted, unable to continue.
Reports confirm that Olmo dislocated his left shoulder, with early assessments indicating he will be sidelined for at least three to four weeks, a timeline that may push his return into early 2026. The injury is particularly worrying given his history, as he previously underwent shoulder surgery in 2023 and has suffered multiple injuries over the past few seasons, including a recent calf problem while on duty with Spain.
His absence leaves Barcelona without a key creative presence at an important stage of their campaign, forcing Hansi Flick to turn to alternatives such as Pedri, Ferran Torres, or a reshuffled midfield setup.
