Following his substitution against Atletico Madrid with a hurt shoulder, FC Barcelona have confirmed that star playmaker Dani Olmo has suffered a dislocation and will be out for one month.

“First team player Dani Olmo suffered a dislocation in his left shoulder during yesterday’s match against Atletico Madrid,” the statement from the club read.

“Following the tests carried out, a conservative treatment has been chosen. The approximate recovery time is one month.”

Olmo started against Atletico Madrid and looked in good touch, even scoring the goal that put Barcelona in front in the second half.

However, having hit his shot while unbalanced, the Spanish international fell hard to the ground, landing on his shoulder and immediately sought medical attention.

Olmo was in a lot of pain and could not continue any longer, with Ferran Torres replacing him on the field.

Now, it has been confirmed that he has suffered a dislocated shoulder. Barça have opted for conservative treatment rather than surgery, and expect the player to be out for one month.

As such, the 27-year-old will miss the upcoming games against Real Betis, Eintracht Frankfurt, Osasuna, and Villarreal. It remains to be seen whether he returns in time for the Spanish Super Cup in January 2026.
