Lamine Yamal, young FC Barcelona prodigy, worried after an ankle relapse against Leganés. Find out the latest information on his condition and possible absence.
The FC Barcelona is going through a difficult time, and the injury of Lamine Yamal comes to push the Blaugrana a little further. During the home defeat against Leganés (0-1) on Sunday evening, the young Spanish prodigy was forced to give up his place to Gavi a quarter of an hour from the end.
Already injured in the right ankle in November against Red Star Belgrade, the 2024 European champion felt severe pain after a blow at the start of the match. The images broadcast after the match show Yamal visibly defeated and dragging his leg, a situation which seriously worries the Catalan staff.
Injury and overwork: Barça fears the worst for Yamal
The first medical analyzes prove not to be very reassuring for Yamal. According to Sport and the journalist José Alvarez, “
the first news is not good, because it is the same ankle already affected “. The risk of a prolonged absence, estimated between 2 and 3 weeks, is real, probably depriving Barça of its winger during the clash against Atlético de Madrid next weekend.
Beyond this relapse, the accumulation of matches seems to weigh heavily on the 17-year-old winger, who has already played 20 of the club's 24 matches this season. More careful management of his workload by Hansi Flick becomes essential to avoid worsening an already worrying situation.
