Sun Mar 30 13:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Barcelona’s Olmo Injured, Torres Shines, and Osasuna Files Protest

**Barcelona, Spain** – FC Barcelona is dealing with a mixed bag of news this week. Midfielder Dani Olmo will be sidelined for approximately three weeks due to a myofascial injury to his right adductor. This absence will likely cost him six matches across La Liga, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey.

Meanwhile, forward Ferran Torres continues his stellar season, scoring his 14th goal against Osasuna in a 3-0 victory, marking his most prolific campaign to date. The win capped a successful Thursday for the club, with victories also recorded by their women’s football, basketball, and handball teams.

However, a shadow has been cast over Barcelona’s triumph. Osasuna has filed a protest against the result of their March 27th match, citing the alleged improper selection of Barcelona defender Iñigo Martínez. Osasuna’s protest hinges on Article 5 of Annex I of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players. The RFEF (Royal Spanish Football Federation) cleared Martínez to play, stating that his withdrawal from the Spanish national team was due to medical reasons. Barcelona maintains that Martínez’s participation was entirely legitimate, as the national team coach and the RFEF agreed to his non-selection for medical reasons. The outcome of Osasuna’s protest remains pending.
