Barça: general panic for Lamine Yamal!

Barça: panic takes hold of Lamine Yamal!

The Lamine Yamal saga continues to shake up Spanish football. Sent back to Barcelona by La Roja after receiving medical attention for his pubalgia, the Catalan prodigy has unwillingly found himself at the heart of a tense standoff between the Spanish Federation (RFEF) and FC Barcelona. The Federation claims the club failed to notify them early enough about the scheduled Monday morning consultation; the Blaugrana respond that they raised the alarm as early as Sunday. This back-and-forth of conflicting versions has fueled confusion, and now the story takes a new turn following revelations by Josep Pedrerol.

A withdrawal driven by fear?

On the set of El Chiringuito, the host claims that Lamine Yamal wasn’t just guided by his injury, but also by fear.

before explaining that the young player had reportedly received several messages from friends warning him about the increased risk when joining the national team. This psychological pressure allegedly led him to confide his concerns to a Barça staff member: "I’m afraid to go to the national team."

In response to these doubts, the Catalan club is said to have consulted a Belgian specialist—accustomed to working with PSG players and several NBA stars—for an urgent examination in Barcelona on Monday. The verdict: a seven to ten day treatment is recommended.

This episode, far from easing tensions, exposes a much deeper issue: that of an 18-year-old talent caught between the expectations of his club, media pressure, and the demands of the national team. This incident could leave lasting scars in the relationship between Barça and La Roja.
