New stop for Lamine Yamal. Touched on the pubis during the previous international truce, the Spanish prodigy relapsed during the defeat of FC Barcelona against Paris Saint-Germain (1-2), last Wednesday in the Champions League. All three days after having returned to competition against Real Sociedad in Liga.

“” The pubic pain that bothered the Lamine Yamal player reappeared after the match against PSG. The match against Seville will be missing. His convalescence is estimated at two to three weeks
“Said Barça via a statement published on Friday.

Absent during the heavy defeat of the Blaugrana in Seville (4-1), this Sunday, Lamine Yamal must also give up playing with the Roja during this international window in October. The 18 -year -old Barcelona prodigy will therefore miss the meetings against Georgia (October 11) and Bulgaria (October 14), as part of the 2026 World Cup elimination.

A ghost to replace Yamal

Deprived of Yamal, but also of Rodri, the Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente decided to call in Borja Iglesias reinforcement. The 32 -year -old striker, who has played Celta Vigo, has not been summoned with his national selection for two years. This season, he is already totaling 6 goals in 10 games.

Regarding Yamal, the concern is in order. On the sidelines of the slap received in Andalusia, Hansi Flick remained evasive on the date of return of his number 10, even suggesting that he could miss the first Clasico of the season in Madrid on October 26.

“” We do not know when he returns … With this injury, it's not easy, it's not a muscle injury, explained the former coach of Bayern. We do not know if he will be back in two, three or four weeks. I do not know if he will be back for the Clasico. You have to manage his playing time. He will work with the recovery team. We're going to go step by step. We will see how it evolves. »»
