The international truce was not enough. Hit in the right ankle on November 6, during Barça’s trip to Red Star Belgrade, Lamine Yamal has still not recovered from the blow to the malleolus and his unavailability is expected to last for a few more matches.
After having already missed the Blaugrana’s trip to Real Sociedad and then the two matches played by Spain in the Nations League, the young Spanish nugget should also be absent on Saturday for the Liga match against Celta Vigo.
Too fair for Brest?
“It will be difficult to be ready”a member of the Catalan staff told AS, who explains that Lamine Yamal still feels pain in his ankle, the pain not having always disappeared. Initially, the medical assessment had mentioned “a grade 1 injury to the syndesmosis of the right ankle”
with one absence included “between two and three weeks”.
But if the Barcelona staff still have hope of finding their nugget for the trip to Brest next Tuesday, there is skepticism among the La Liga leaders, who will not want to take the slightest risk with their star striker. As a precaution, his club will have him undergo new medical examinations this Thursday, reports Mundo Deportivo. Enough to do business for Stade Brestois, surprising fourth in the Champions League.
