In resplendent form since last summer and Spain's victory at the Euro, Lamine Yamal will surely experience the first big setback in his young career. Absent from Barça's match sheet this Sunday evening to face Real Sociedad in La Liga, the 17-year-old striker is indeed suffering from an ankle injury, as the Catalan club explains in a press release.
“Lamine Yamal received a serious bruise on his right ankle”
“Lamine Yamal received a serious bruise on his right ankle during the match against Red Star in the Champions League. In recent days he has undergone treatment, but the discomfort persists. The player is weak and his progress will determine his availability »explains Barcelona, which could lose its new star for several weeks if a serious injury is confirmed…
Which would be a real blow for Barça, who are returning to the forefront this season, notably with a resounding 4-0 victory against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last October. But even without Yamal, Hansi Flick will still be able to count on his other executives like Lewandowski, Raphinha or Pedri to continue to string together good results in the Champions League and in the championship.
