Hit in the right ankle during Barcelona’s defeat against Leganès on Sunday, Lamine Yamal will be absent for three to four weeks, the Catalan club announced on Monday.
Spanish striker Lamine Yamal, injured in the right ankle during Barcelona’s 1-0 defeat against Leganès on Sunday, will be out for three to four weeks, the Catalan club announced on Monday. “Tests carried out this morning showed a grade 1 injury to the anterior intertibio-peroneal ligament,” Barça specifies in a press release. During Sunday’s defeat, Yamal was replaced by Gavi in the 75th minute, and had previously played a large part of the match diminished, after a shock to his ankle suffered shortly after the first quarter of an hour of play.
He will therefore be absent for the summit clash against Atlético Madrid, 2nd in Liga behind Barça with the same number of points (38) but an additional match to play, next Saturday in Barcelona. In crisis at the end of October after setbacks against Benfica (4-0), Lille (3-1) and Betis Sevilla, the Colchoneros have not suffered defeat since and have completely relaunched the title race in La Liga, while Barça has had a series of poor performances in recent weeks.
