Lamine Yamal a concern for Barcelona over chronic groin injury | OneFootball

Lamine Yamal has been struggling with a groin injury for some time, and the Spanish press speculates that the situation might be more concerning than it appears.

According to the newspaper Sport, Barcelona's medical team fears that the young forward might be dealing with a case of chronic pubalgia, which is a complex inflammation affecting the pelvic region. Physiotherapist Lluis Puig, interviewed by the Spanish outlet, explained that “pubalgia is not a muscle injury, but rather an alteration in the pubic area, where different muscles converge.”

Although the Catalan club has not released any official statement about the athlete's physical condition, coach Hansi Flick stated in a press conference last Saturday that Yamal has been experiencing physical complaints but is progressing well.

This season, the groin pain has already kept him out of some matches. In September, the player missed four consecutive games: against Valencia, Getafe, Oviedo, and Newcastle. Although he is not seriously injured, the forward's playing time should be managed cautiously to prevent the condition from worsening.
