The scene is rather unusual. Lamine Yamal rushes to take a penalty and scores it. So far, so good. Except that the young star of FC Barcelona immediately reported that he had been injured while scoring the only goal of the match against Celta Vigo (1-0), before lying down on the pitch at Camp Nou. All his teammates, who came to celebrate the goal with him, quickly understood that something was wrong. This is how the Blaugrana went from joy to worry in a fraction of a second.
With the World Cup fast approaching – less than two months before kick-off – Barcelona’s worries become those of all of Spain. It is rumored that Yamal was hit in the thigh, and very quickly, Sports World directly announces an end to the club season for Barça’s number 10. “Initial tests indicate he has a torn left hamstring and suggest he could be out for at least five weeks. »
Yamal will take additional exams
A first diagnosis confirmed a few hours later. Lamine Yamal underwent additional examinations this Thursday, and the results were not good for FC Barcelona: the player was affected in the biceps femoris and “will miss the rest of the season”, as indicated by FC Barcelona this Thursday. On the other hand, he should be “available” for the 2026 World Cup. It remains to be seen in what state of form.
Barça will have to manage without Yamal to win the championship. Nothing insurmountable as the work has been pre-done: six days before the end of the season, the Catalans have a comfortable mattress of nine points ahead of Real Madrid, 2nd in Liga.
