Barcelona is annoyed with the Spanish Federation after Dani Olmo got injured in the national team training session, putting his chance to play in the upcoming El Clasico at risk.
Barcelona is facing a new setback as Dani Olmo, one of the team's key players, got injured while training with the Spanish national team. According to Catalunya Radio, the Catalan club has sent a detailed medical report to the Spanish Federation, highlighting that Olmo arrived at the camp physically exhausted, but this was ignored.
During training, Olmo suffered a muscle tear in his left leg and is expected to be sidelined for 3 to 4 weeks. This means the Spanish midfielder is likely to miss the upcoming El Clasico, causing significant difficulties for Barcelona in preparing their squad for the season. Additional tests will be conducted next Monday, but the current outlook is not promising.
Barcelona's frustration is not only due to losing Olmo but also because this is the second time after a national team call-up that the club has suffered a serious injury; previously, Lamine Yamal was also injured. This situation worries the coaching staff and fans about the campaign in La Liga and the Champions League as Barcelona aims for major titles.
The Catalan club emphasizes that they always prioritize players' physical condition and that Olmo's injury while playing for the national team is unacceptable. Barcelona wants the Spanish Federation to take more responsibility in protecting players, especially key stars crucial for the La Liga and Champions League campaigns.
Dani Olmo's injury once again highlights the tension between Europe's top clubs and national federations, as the congested schedule and pressures from competitions like the Champions League increase players' risk of injury. With Barcelona facing personnel challenges, fans are questioning whether the team can stabilize its squad in time for important upcoming matches. Do you think Dani Olmo will recover in time for El Clasico?
