The FC Barcelona already knows the extent of the injury to Dani Olmo. The midfielder will be out for around four weeks after suffering an impact rupture in the adductor during the Champions League match against PSG at the Parc des Princes.

The incident happened in the first half, around the 25th minute, when Olmo was stomped on by Vitinha. After landing awkwardly, the Spain international fell to the ground showing signs of pain and was treated by the club's medical staff.

Although he tried to check whether he could continue, the discomfort prevented him from carrying on on the pitch. Hansi Flick had to adjust his plans and brought Fermín López on in his place.

Setback for Flick and a Fantasy warning

Olmo's absence of Dani Olmo represents a significant problem for Barcelona because of his ability to play between the lines, create chances and provide an attacking threat from second line. His versatility makes him a useful piece both in build-up play and in more advanced areas.

In Fantasy terms, his injury forces managers to look for an alternative over the coming matchdays. The known estimate is around a month, although his return will depend on how the affected area evolves and his response to treatment.

The absence of Olmo could open up space for other players in the squad, with Fermín López one of the names to keep an eye on after being the one Flick chose to replace him against PSG. For now, any distribution of minutes beyond that change falls into the realm of speculation and will depend on the coach's decisions.
