FC Barcelona suffered their first defeat of the 2026-27 season as they travelled to Paris to face Paris Saint-Germain in their third UEFA Champions League match. It was a thrilling game filled with goals, but ultimately, [the Parisians were able to get the better of the Catalans and beat them with a 4-2 scoreline](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/joan-garcia-9-5-gordon-5-5-psg-4-2-fc-barcelona-player-ratings/).
However, the defeat was not the only piece of bad news for the Blaugranes last night. As [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20261020/1004241219/dani-olmo-dembele-lesionados-media-hora.html) has reported, the midfielder Dani Olmo also suffered an injury during this game, which forced him to leave the pitch only 29 minutes into the match.
The cause of the injury was not clear, but the PSG midfielder Vitinha stepped on him and he fell to the ground in an awkward fashion. While leaving the pitch, he could be seen touching his groin, indicating the problem could be in that area of the body.
This must have been particularly disturbing for Olmo, as the last night’s game was his 100th appearance in a Barcelona shirt. Furthermore, he had enjoyed quite a long period of good health before this injury, as his last injury came back in December, when he dislocated his shoulder after scoring a goal against Atletico Madrid. His last muscle injury came even before that, on 10 October 2025.
Since recovering from his latest injury in January this year, he had remained an important player for Flick, playing in all 44 consecutive matches for the Blaugrana side. 32 of these games came during the last season, while the rest of the 12 games were played this season.
Detailed tests are yet to be conducted on Dani Olmo, which will provide a better idea of what the midfielder is suffering from. However, he seems highly unlikely to be available for El Clasico, which is set to be played in only four days’ time.
