A statement from Barcelona confirms that Lamine Yamal is currently dealing with a severe contusion following the club’s midweek match against Red Star Belgrade.
As a result, the 17-year-old forward’s recovery may take longer than initially anticipated, with the club insisting on being cautious in his rehabilitation. “Lamine Yamal sustained a severe contusion on Wednesday against Red Star,” the statement read.
This led the youngster to miss the club’s 1-0 loss against Real Sociedad in La Liga on Sunday. Yamal is also dealing with muscular overload, a condition that has further complicated his recovery process and left the club clueless as to when he can return to action.
