Injury to the ankle of RB Leipzig forward Dani Olmo has forced him out of the ongoing UEFA Champions League match against Feyenoord, according to the club's official website.

Olmo was playing for RB Leipzig when he injured his ankle during the second half of their 2-1 win over Feyenoord on Wednesday night. The 25-year-old midfielder suffered a severe ligament tear and required surgery to repair the damage.

The injury is a major blow to Olmo, who has been struggling with injuries throughout the season. He missed the first two games of the season due to ankle problems but returned to action after recovering from the injury.

"I am devastated by this injury," Olmo said in a statement released by the club. "I will be out for several weeks, which means I won't be able to play until next week at the latest."

Feyenoord coach Jelle Kneip expressed disappointment in Olmo's decision to miss the game, saying that it would have been better if he had played.

"We were disappointed with the performance of our players today," Kneip said. "We need to make sure we don't repeat this mistake again and we'll try to bring back a player like Olmo before the end of the season."

It remains to be seen how long Olmo will be out of action, but his absence will likely mean a significant impact on the team's results. The team will need to find someone else to step up and fill the void left by Olmo's departure.

Injuries can be devastating to a player's career, but they also offer opportunities for growth and development. It will be interesting to see how Olmo returns to the field and contributes to the team's success in the coming months.
