The Lamine Yamal case worries
FC Barcelona had to announce terrible news. Lamine Yamal is KO, as advertised Sport. A new blow which will sideline the 17-year-old prodigy from the field for three to four weeks. This injury might seem insignificant except that it is located at the level of the right ankle, already affected a month ago. In Catalonia, there are fears of a relapse for a young player who has continued since the triumphant summer with Spain. “Broken lamina”wrote with fear on Mundo Deportivo. Several scenarios haunt the minds of Barcelonans, notably the case of Pedri, who had a 73-match season at just 18 years old and who paid for it in the following years. Same with Frenkie de Jong, who is struggling to regain his level due to an injury of the same type.

Through a press release, the Lisbon club confirmed the extension of another season for its 22-year-old defender. He is now linked to the club until 2029, as also relayed by the newspaper Record.
