Dani Olmo set off the alarms at FC Barcelona as a result of a muscle puncture in his right thigh. The one from Terrassa asked for a change in the 60th minute against Girona (1-4) and is a serious doubt for the debut in the Champions League against Monaco (Thursday)

FC Barcelona left Montilivi with a resounding win against Girona (1-4) that left a worrying note for Hansi Flick's men in the final stretch. Dani Olmo left with discomfort in the femoral biceps of his right thigh and could be out for around a week, after suffering a muscle puncture that forced him to ask for a substitution in the 60th minute.

The playmaker had scored the third Barça goal as soon as the second half began, taking advantage of a long pass from Jules Koundé to finish from the right, from a small angle, against Gazzaniga after a perfect diagonal. After the game, Hansi Flick made it clear that, in principle, it would not be anything serious, pending the corresponding tests. "We have to wait. Luckily it doesn't seem serious, but we have to wait to see how the doctors see it tomorrow," explained the German. In total, Dani completed 20 of 25 passes (80%), with only one shot on goal (it was a goal), 4 recovered balls and 3 successful dribbles. In attack he won 4 of 10 individual duels and received a foul.

Dani Olmo would miss the duels against Monaco and Villarreal

If the injury to his right thigh is confirmed after the tests the player undergoes this Monday, the playmaker would be left out of the squad for the Champions League debut against Monaco (Thursday the 19th in France) and for matchday 6 of LaLiga against Villarreal (next Sunday at El Madrigal). Even the '20' would be a doubt for the duel against Getafe, corresponding to the seventh league matchday (Wednesday the 25th).

Dani Olmo missed the first two games of the season, against Valencia and Athletic, as he was not registered in the tournament due to Barça's financial problems. With his goal against Girona, the man from Terrassa maintained his scoring streak in his first three appearances with the Barça team, as he had also 'wet' against Rayo and Valladolid. While waiting for the official report from the culé infirmary, the club could suffer its first significant loss of 24/25, although it would be a short absence (approximately one week).
