FC Barcelona has had a rather complicated few weeks. Hansi Flick’s team has had a series of poor results in the league, and has seen Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid return to its level, despite having had a great start to the season. A bad patch which could also get worse with the injury to Lamine Yamal, injured in the ankle on Sunday evening against Leganés during the Blaugrana’s 1-0 defeat.
After suffering a blow at the start of the match, the Spaniard was able to hold on, before being replaced a quarter of an hour from the end, with facial expressions which did not hide his pain and frustration. It’s the same ankle – the right – which had already been affected against Red Star Belgrade in November, when he had already missed several matches.
Barça fears the worst
As indicated Sportthe tendency is rather towards pessimism on the Barcelona side. The first analyzes carried out on the spot have created concern within the staff, where there is a fear that he may have simply relapsed. Additional tests will be carried out during the day to have an exact diagnosis, but it is very likely that Lamine Yamal will miss this very important duel against Atlético de Madrid next weekend.
Beyond this new possible absence of 2 to 3 weeks, it is above all the accumulation of matches and the wear and tear which seems to affect Lamine Yamal which worries Barça. It must be said that, at the age of 17, the 2024 European champion plays practically every 3 days and it is starting to be felt. Hansi Flick therefore risks having to review his management of the case LY19 in the coming weeks…
