The Catalan club confirmed the recovery timeline in their medical bulletin, confirming that the playmaker will miss not only Sunday's 'Clasico' against Real Madrid, but will also be unavailable for Spain during the upcoming international break.

'La Roja' wrap up their Nations League group stage in three weeks' time, travelling to Prague to face the Czech Republic on 12 November before hosting England at the Metropolitano on 15 November.

Dani Olmo had been enjoying a trouble-free 2026 after injuries blighted the first half of last season. His dejection was unmistakable when he was forced off during the PSG match against FC Barcelona—a bruising encounter that also saw Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia pick up injuries, the latter sustaining an ACL rupture.

From Barca's perspective, Olmo is now sidelined for a crucial run of fixtures ahead of the international hiatus: Real Madrid (25/10), Deportivo Alaves (31/10), Aston Villa in the Champions League (03/11), and a critical trip to face Atletico Madrid (08/11) at the Metropolitano. In his absence, Fermin Lopez and the fit-again Frenkie de Jong will be expected to take centre stage.
