Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo was forced to withdraw from international duty after being diagnosed with a muscle injury by the Spain national team’s medical staff.
The 27-year-old played 90 minutes in the Catalans’ 4–1 defeat to Sevilla and then joined La Roja for the October international window. Spain boss Luis de la Fuente revealed Olmo arrived with some discomfort and did not participate in full training until Friday.
It was then that the midfielder complained of muscle discomfort in his left leg, per the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). Further tests confirmed Olmo sustained a muscle injury.
The ex-RB Leipzig standout is therefore unavailable to feature in Spain’s upcoming clashes with Georgia and Bulgaria. The RFEF announced Olmo will begin his recovery at the national team’s training camp before returning to Barcelona on Saturday.
Both La Roja and Barcelona have yet to establish a timeline for the Spaniard’s recovery.
