Barcelona and the Spain national team have been at odds since the start of the season over ongoing issues regarding the 18-year-old’s fitness.
The latest controversy broke out when Yamal, selected for Spain’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Turkey, underwent an “invasive radiofrequency procedure” to treat pubic discomfort on the very day he was expected to report to the national squad.
Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, Yamal’s Barcelona teammate Olmo, 27, has denied any potential dressing room tension regarding the matter.
"I don't think we experience that much tension from within. In the end, both the club and the national team always look out for what's best for the player, and I haven't seen any problems on either side," he said.
"Ultimately, both sides want what's best for the player. If Lamine isn't at 100% right now and hasn't been able to be, then there's no problem. Lamine is a very important player for both Barça and the national team, and we need him at 100%, and if he's not, he's not.
"Barca always generates a lot of talk, both inside and outside the club. But, as I've already said, it's not something that worries us, nor do we feel that tension that might be perceived from the outside. Inside, everything is completely normal, always looking out for the player's best interests."
