Lamine Yamal is not on the FC Barcelona match sheet for the trip to Real Sociedad this Sunday, as part of the 13th day of La Liga. The Spanish prodigy suffers from a mysterious “contusion”.
Mystery hovers around this absence… and especially its timing. This Sunday, November 10 evening, Hansi Flick cannot count on his prodigy Lamine Yamal, who has withdrawn from the Barça match on the Real Sociedad field, at the end of the 13th day of La Liga.
After the announcement of the team composition, FC Barcelona published a very short press release announcing a physical problem for the recent winner of the Kopa Trophy: “Lamine Yamal suffered a severe contusion to his right ankle during the match against Red Star Belgrade (in the Champions League, editor’s note). In recent days, he has undergone treatment but the pain persists.” No length of unavailability has been announced and the nature of the injury remains unclear.
The international break with or without Yamal for Spain?
But according to the Catalan press, like what Mundo Deportivo suggests, it is above all a question of letting Lamine Yamal rest after accumulated muscular fatigue. For the absence of Dani Olmo, it is due to gastroenteritis.
It will not have escaped anyone’s notice that an international break is coming, with two Nations League matches to play for the Spain team. The reigning European champions will travel to Denmark on Friday November 15 then host Switzerland on Monday November 18. With Lamine Yamal? Without saying that this is a Barça strategy to keep its star warm, doubt is allowed.
