Olmo risks ruining his career

Continuous injuries have prevented midfielder Dani Olmo from shining for his club and national team.

Olmo's physical condition is alarming.

The Spaniard has suffered 11 injuries in the last five years, sidelining him for a total of 377 days. This means Olmo has missed 33.7% of the games in the last four and a half seasons.

The 2024/25 season is noted as a period when Olmo has had few physical problems, but his extensive injury history remains a big question mark. Since the start of the 2025/26 season, Olmo has had a recurrence of moderate injuries, missing 35% of Barca's matches.

The latest injury – a torn muscle in his left calf – will keep him out for at least three more weeks. The problem occurred during Spain's training camp. Olmo is unlikely to be fit in time for El Clasico against Real Madrid on October 26, as well as crucial games against Girona (October 18), Olympiacos (October 21) and Elche.

The inevitable result was that Olmo lost form and received a lot of criticism from Barca fans. According to the Catalan press, coach Flick was no longer satisfied with Olmo when the player was said to lack resilience, lose rhythm at important moments and not know how to exploit space at the right time.

Sport fears that if the situation does not improve, Olmo will push himself out of Barcelona. His ability to maintain his peak form and secure a place in the national team's starting lineup is also seriously threatened ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
