In the match against Celta Vigo, Barcelona star and key figure Lamine Yamal picked up an injury and was forced off the pitch, prompting a reaction after the game from another of the team’s leaders.
Details: Following the match, midfielder Pedri addressed the injury and said he hopes Yamal will not be sidelined for long.
Quote: “I hope Lamine misses as little time as possible. Tomorrow he will undergo tests, and we will see the nature of the problem. I wish him all the best, and I hope he stays calm because he is still young,” Pedri said.
By the way, Spain’s star winger is currently suspected of having suffered a hamstring tear. More precise information will come after medical examinations, so a minor tear that could sideline him for two to three weeks cannot be ruled out.
Reminder: 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.
