Barcelona's Olmo faces four-week layoff after adductor injury

Barcelona confirmed on Wednesday that Olmo picked up the injury during Tuesday's away fixture at PSG in the European competition. The Spanish midfielder's absence comes at a challenging time for the Catalan outfit, who suffered a heavy defeat in the continental clash.

The 26-year-old has been a key figure for Barcelona since joining the club and his injury will likely impact the team's midfield options in the coming weeks. The four-week timeline means Olmo could potentially return before the end of November, depending on his recovery progress.

Barcelona's medical team will monitor the midfielder closely during his rehabilitation period. The injury adds to the mounting fitness concerns that often plague top-flight European clubs during congested fixture schedules.

The club did not provide further details on the severity of the adductor injury or specifics on Olmo's recovery plan. Barcelona's next fixtures will proceed without the midfielder's availability as he undergoes treatment.
