FC Barcelona’s young star Lamine Yamal faces a challenging period as his injury timeline comes to light, impacting the team.
The young winger, already a Ballon d’Or candidate, has been pivotal for Hansi Flick’s side in La Liga and beyond.
However, recent developments have raised concerns about his availability for upcoming matches, with the club now focusing on ensuring his long-term fitness for a critical stretch of the season.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Lamine Yamal is set to miss Barcelona’s next three matches across all competitions due to pubic discomfort that worsened during his recent stint with the Spanish national team.
The issue first surfaced during a match against Levante and intensified after the game against Rayo Vallecano.
This injury forced him to sit out the recent clash against Valencia, and it has now been confirmed that he will miss the UEFA Champions League opener against Newcastle United, with doubts lingering over his participation in La Liga fixtures against Getafe and Real Oviedo.
Barcelona is taking a cautious approach, prioritizing Yamal’s recovery to avoid any risk of relapse, given the injury’s delicate nature.
The club’s medical staff has outlined a recovery plan involving daily physiotherapy and tailored treatments to expedite his return.
The target is for Lamine Yamal to regain full fitness in time for the high-stakes Champions League clash against PSG on October 1.
A potential return with limited minutes could come as early as September 28 against Real Sociedad, coinciding with Barcelona’s return to Camp Nou.
In Yamal’s absence, Hansi Flick has options to fill the void on the right wing. Raphinha, a consistent performer, is likely to step up, while new signing Roony Bardghji offers another dynamic alternative.
Barcelona fans will be eager to see their young star back in action, but the club’s cautious approach ensures his long-term health remains the priority.
