No need to panic! Barcelona make the right call on Lamine Yamal
Barcelona are completely calm about the physical condition of star winger Lamine Yamal, despite rumors of a possible injury.
Details: According to respected Spanish journalist Helena Condis, the 19-year-old forward finished yesterday’s match feeling extremely fatigued due to a packed fixture schedule. As a result, Barcelona’s medical staff and the player himself jointly decided that he should not travel to Prague for the upcoming Nations League match against the Czech Republic.
The Catalan club have already agreed on a recovery plan for the young talent with Spain’s coaching staff, giving him a full rest ahead of crucial club matches this autumn. No structural injuries were detected, so after a short break, Yamal will resume training as usual.
It is worth noting that Lamine Yamal is enjoying an outstanding spell in his career: at a recent ceremony in London, the Spaniard claimed the prestigious Kopa Trophy for the world’s best young player for the second year in a row and also finished in the top three in the voting for the 2026 Ballon d’Or.
Reminder: Alarm bells at Barcelona! Lamine Yamal suffers knee problems and will miss Spain's match
