At 17 years old, Lamine Yamal is the great prodigy of the moment on the football planet, but this also means that Barça’s young talent is playing much more than what is usually expected of a player of his age. Would he already start paying for it physically? In any case, in Spain, there has been concern in recent hours with the condition of his ankle.
Last night, Barça suffered a painful defeat against Leganes (0-1) and eyes are on the young prodigy who is injured. Just after the quarter of an hour of play, Yamal suffered a big tackle which clearly hit his right ankle. After a tense moment, the young Spaniard finally played again, even resuming the second half after having asked to leave just before the break. It was finally in the second period that his coach decided to take him out.
An ankle already weakened at 17?
And since then, concern has slowly increased for several reasons. The first is the image of Yamal limping out of the Montjuic stadium. The second is that the affected area is the same as his sprain a few weeks ago, raising fears of already worrying fragility in this area of the body at only 17 years old. While a new sprain is feared, which would cause him to miss the huge clash against Atlético next weekend, Yamal will take exams this Monday, the verdict of which is obviously eagerly awaited.
