Dani Olmo: A Shoulder Setback Sparks a Rallying Comeback Spirit
Dani Olmo's shoulder injury sidelines him for a spell but his comeback is on the horizon.

Injury update and Olmo's message

Spanish international Dani Olmo, Barcelona's midfield star, sent a message to the club's fans hours after suffering an injury in the team's 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid.

Barça beat Atletico 3-1 at Camp Nou in La Liga's 19th round.

Olmo was hurt while scoring Barcelona's second goal, collapsing on his shoulder and leaving the field before Ferran Torres came on.

He posted on X: 'Nothing will stop me, thanks for your support... what I went through will make me stronger'.

The Spaniard added that the will and enthusiasm remain; the team will push on in the year's final stretch.

Barcelona later confirmed a left shoulder dislocation.

After tests, the club chose conservative treatment; surgery is not required, with a roughly one-month recovery.

Olmo is set to miss several important fixtures against Betis, Frankfurt, Osasuna, and Villarreal.

Barcelona's medical staff will monitor his progress closely.

Recovery is expected around one month, pending no complications.

Punchline 1: Even a shoulder setback can't bench his ambition.

Punchline 2: The comeback playlist is already on repeat.
