Oct 21 - Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo will be sidelined for around four weeks after sustaining a left adductor injury during Tuesday's 4-2 Champions League defeat by Paris St Germain, the LaLiga club said on Wednesday.

• The Spain international was forced off in the 27th minute after a collision with PSG midfielder Vitinha and was unable to continue, before he was replaced by Fermin Lopez.

• "Tests carried out confirm that Dani Olmo is suffering from an injury to his left adductor muscle... The player is expected to be out for around a month," Barcelona said in a statement.

• The injury is a blow for Hansi Flick's side, with Olmo set to miss Sunday's El Clasico against Real Madrid. REUTERS
