Barcelona forward player, Dani Olmo, will reportedly miss the club’s matches for at least a month, due to injury, Edum News reports. 

The Spanish playmaker scored in the 4-1 rout of Girona in La Liga on Sunday but was later substituted after sustaining the injury.

In a statement on Monday, the club noted that tests conducted on the player revealed that he injured his right hamstring, and is expected to be unavailable for the next four to five weeks.

The statement reads in part, “Tests conducted this Monday morning on Dani Olmo have revealed that the Barcelona forward has injured his right hamstring. 

“He is expected to be unavailable for the next four to five weeks.”

The 26 year old will miss Barcelona’s opening Champions League matches against Monaco and Young Boys, as well as several La Liga games and Nations League matches for Euro 2024 winners Spain against Denmark and Serbia in early October.

Dani Olmo has three goals in three matches for Barcelona since joining from RB Leipzig this summer.
