🏥 Barça confirm Yamal injury, but star should make World Cup | OneFootball

Barcelona confirmed, this Thursday (23), Lamine Yamal’s injury.

After medical tests carried out this morning, the club issued an official statement saying that the forward has a hamstring injury in his left leg.

Yamal will undergo conservative treatment and will not play for Barcelona again this season, leaving the team short-handed in the final stretch of the Spanish league.

The 18-year-old felt the problem right after scoring a penalty late in the first half, and left the pitch limping in Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Celta de Vigo.

Despite the scare less than 50 days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, the recovery timeline works in Spain’s favor.

With treatment expected to last around five weeks, the hope is that the young star will recover in time to play in the World Cup.
