Major Setback for Lamine Yamal

FC Barcelona striker Lamine Yamal is suffering from a left hamstring injury. Injured against Celta, he will miss the end of the championship but should be fit to compete in the World Cup with Spain.

The medical verdict came down Thursday: the 18-year-old player will undergo conservative treatment and avoid surgery. Lamine Yamal injured himself alone late in the first half at Spotify Camp Nou, precisely while converting the penalty for victory. This success brings the Catalan club closer to the title, which maintains a nine-point lead over Real Madrid with six matches remaining. German coach Flick will now have to manage without his starting right winger and top scorer of the squad with 24 goals, who was replaced by Roony during this match.

While his club season is officially over, the Rocafonda native will be present for the World Cup this summer. Although he will arrive lacking match fitness, his participation reassures coach Luis de la Fuente, who considers him a fundamental piece of La Roja’s system. Since his breakthrough in September 2023, the Barcelona prodigy of Moroccan descent has already accumulated 25 caps with the national team, scoring a total of six goals.
