It’s not looking good... update on Lamine Yamal’s injury, says SER | OneFootball

FC Barcelona is holding its breath after the latest reports on the physical condition of its young star, Lamine Yamal. His injury-enforced exit in the win at Celta de Vigo has put all of Barça and Spanish football on alert. 

As journalist Santi Ovalle reported on Cadena SER, the signs are far from positive. Initial examinations indicate that the academy product has suffered a muscle tear, a diagnosis that would drastically change the recovery timetable initially expected by the club’s medical staff.

"It doesn’t look good because he has a tear, and now we need to see how severe it is," Ovalle explained, also stressing that the player is "really shaken" emotionally.

FC Barcelona is expected to issue an official statement later this morning after the player undergoes more extensive tests at the Joan Gamper training ground. These tests will determine the size of the tear and, therefore, the exact amount of time Lamine will have to stay off the pitch.

With the end of the season and the World Cup on the horizon

This injury comes at a time of maximum pressure in the schedule. The Mataró-born player’s participation in El Clásico is completely ruled out, and his presence at the World Cup is more in doubt than ever.
