BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona Midfielder Dani Olmo has dislocated his left shoulder and is unlikely to play again this year.
Barcelona announced on Wednesday that the club and the player had decided on a conservative treatment plan that would keep Olmo out for about a month.
Olmo was injured while scoring the second goal. Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 Spanish league on Tuesday. In the 65th minute at the Camp Nou, he fell awkwardly after hitting the net with his left foot.
Olmo was visibly in pain and was unable to celebrate the goal. The playmaker was quickly replaced and forced to assist off the field.
Olmo has played in 17 games this season, 13 in the Spanish league and four in the Champions League. He has four goals and two assists. He has scored three goals in the last two league games.
