Following last Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in Barcelona, Barcelona officially announced that talented Spanish player Lamine Yamal is suffering from a new type of injury to his groin area and will not participate in the match against Sevilla on Sunday, October 5.

Recently, coach Hansi Flick came out in a press conference and told reporters that he was not confident that Lamy would be ready to participate in the upcoming El Clásico, on October 26 at the Bernabéu, which increases the pressure on the German coach in the upcoming important matches.

We don't know when Lamine will return، It's not a muscular injury, so it's hard to predict anything. Maybe he'll be ready in two, three, or four weeks. I'm not sure if he'll make it for El Clásico. We need to carefully manage his playing time. He'll continue his recovery work with the team, step by step. Let's see how things develop.

🚨 ¿Cuándo regresará Lamine Yamal? ❓ ¿Estará para el Clásico? 💬 Hansi Flick: "No sabemos cuándo volverá Lamine porque con esta lesión no es fácil saberlo al no tratarse de una lesión muscular. No sabemos si estará de vuelta en dos, tres o cuatro semanas. No sé si estará listo

Just as a flicker of hope was restored, fortune has once again turned against the young talent. After a frustrating period on the treatment table—a consequence of an injury sustained with his national team—Lamine Yamal had only just made his return to the pitch.

A week of recovery had culminated in two appearances, a brief but welcome sight for his team. Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, that hard-won progress has been halted. The promising player now finds himself confronting another spell on the sidelines, a familiar and undoubtedly disappointing situation.
