In a Spanish league match, Barcelona winger and leading star Lamine Yamal suffered an injury in the first half and was forced off the pitch. Initial information on his condition has now emerged.
Details: According to Javi Miguel of AS, the Spanish winger is currently suspected of having suffered a hamstring tear. More precise information will come after medical examinations, so a minor tear that would sideline him for two to three weeks cannot be ruled out.
However, if the more serious diagnosis is confirmed, he will not play again this season.
Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo report that Yamal’s involvement in the remaining matches of this campaign is now under major doubt, as is his participation in the 2026 World Cup.
By the way, in this same match, Lamine Yamal became the youngest footballer to reach the 30-goal mark in Europe’s top five leagues since Jimmy Greaves, who achieved the feat for Chelsea on August 30, 1958.
Reminder: By the way, midway through the first half, full-back Joao Cancelo picked up an injury.
