The season has come to a premature end for the young Catalan prodigy.
Details: Today, on his Instagram page, 18-year-old Barcelona and Spain sensation Lamine Yamal reached out to fans following the news of his serious injury, which he suffered during the match against Celta.
“This injury leaves me off the pitch at the moment I wanted to be there the most, and it hurts more than I can explain. It hurts not being able to fight alongside my teammates, not being able to help when the team needs me. But I believe in them and I know they’re going to give their all in every match.
I’ll be there, even if it’s from the outside, supporting, cheering and pushing like one more. This isn’t the end, it’s just a pause. I’ll come back stronger, with more desire than ever, and next season will be better.
Thank you for the messages and Visca el Barça”. - wrote Yamal.
Lamine Yamal sustained his injury while taking a penalty kick in yesterday’s match, but it is expected that the winger will recover in time for the start of the 2026 World Cup.
