Dani Olmo's latest muscle problem with the Spanish national team just before their 2-nil victory over Georgia couldn't have come at a worse time for FC Barcelona. The midfielder's setback adds to an already growing list of absentees that has left Hansi Flick's squad looking thin and overworked.
As of October 12, 2025, Doftfootball understands that Barca are missing seven first-team players, including Gavi - who's out till February 2026, Marc-Andre ter Stegen with a back issue, Raphinha nursing a hamstring strain, and young star Lamine Yamal struggling with a groin injury.
Spain announced the players injury with a post on the teams official X account, and Olmo's expected absence until early November just piles on more trouble, with the calendar looking brutal, La Liga matches, Champions League nights, and El Clasico on October 26 all squeezed close together.
