Catalan reporter: Huizen can return to Real Madrid first but Olmo cannot. Barcelona is dissatisfied with this

Hupu reported on October 11 that according to Spanish media "AS" Catalan reporter Javier Miguel, Olmo will return to Barcelona this Saturday with injury. Although still subject to detailed examination by the club's medical department, the preliminary diagnostic report returned from the Las Rozas training base is not optimistic - the Spanish international has a torn soleus muscle in his left leg and is expected to sideline him for three to four weeks.

If the injury is confirmed, Olmo will definitely miss the national derby against Real Madrid on October 26, and will miss at least five key games: against Girona, Olympiakos, Real Madrid, Elche and Bruges.

According to "AS", this new injury has made the club both angry and confused. The anger stems from players traveling to the national team with medical reports that clearly stated "muscle fatigue is accompanied by discomfort and caution is recommended" - a similar situation to Real Madrid defender Huizen, who was allowed to return to the club early as a result. However, coach de la Fuente insisted on retaining Olmo, who failed to participate in joint training for four consecutive days, even though he knew that the player was not in his best condition.

The club’s confusion is: Why do players continue to participate in training before they have fully recovered? In this regard, Barcelona also pointed out that the Spanish national team failed to accurately interpret the warning signals sent by the players' bodies, perhaps because of concerns about losing qualifications for the 2026 World Cup.

In any case, the cruel fact is that Barcelona once again encountered the situation of "main players injured" - it was Yamal a month ago, and now it is Olmo's turn.

What is even more worrying is that Olmo is not the only Barcelona player to report with a risk warning. Midfielder Pedri has also shown obvious signs of fatigue, and the club is urging the national team to conduct special monitoring of his training intensity.
