Lamine Yamal is going through the first zones of turbulence in his young career. Between extra-sporting controversies, sluggish performances and shocking declarations, the Barça prodigy continues to make headlines in Spain. His injuries and relapses, frequent at the start of the season, are also widely talked about on the other side of the Pyrenees. For several weeks, the 18-year-old striker has been suffering from pubalgia which prevents him from being 100% on the pitch.

Aware of the impact of this injury on his performance, particularly in his changes of pace and his feinting, he still decided to continue his activity, without playing billiards. “There was a lot of talk about my pubalgia, people said I was sad, but it was all lies”he confided in recent days. According to Sportthe player prefers not to undergo surgery “for the moment”, and it is above all the pain which will determine what happens next in his mind. To avoid going through the operation box, Barça may have found the solution.

Barça will bet on a referenced doctor

As indicated Sport this morning, it would lead to Finland. The club actually made the decision to call on an old acquaintance, namely Doctor Lempainen. A recognized professional in the world of sport, he was asked by Barcelona to operate on Ronald Araujo but also Alejandro Balde in recent seasons. As a “pubalgia specialist”, it is he who should therefore be in charge of the thorny Lamine Yamal case.

For several days, this referenced doctor from the big clubs has been in direct contact with the Catalan medical staff. The priority is to relieve the pain through rehabilitation, and above all to avoid worsening the injury. The Catalan leaders insisted that for the moment they did not intend to operate on their player. The operation will only be considered if the pain intensifies in the coming weeks.
