Lamine Yamal’s season with FC Barcelona came to an abrupt end on Wednesday evening in the match won against Alavés (1-0). The only scorer of the match, the Spaniard was injured while taking the winning penalty. The day after his premature discharge, he learned of the medical verdict. Victim of an injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg, he is out for the end of the La Liga season. He broke his silence this Thursday.
A few hours after Barça’s official communication on his case, Lamine Yamal posted a message on his social networks. And he did not hesitate to express his great sadness at the situation. “This injury takes me off the field when I most wanted to be there and this sadness goes well beyond words. It hurts me that I can’t help my teammates and the team when they need me. But I have confidence in them and I know they will give their all in every match. »
Then the Spanish international assured the Barcelonans of his support. “I will be there, even off the field, supporting, encouraging and pushing like the twelfth man. It’s not the end, it’s just a break. I will come back stronger, more impatient than ever and next season will be even better. »
Lamine Yamal hoped for the 2026 World Cup
It is from his sofa or the stands when he can get there that Lamine Yamal will follow and encourage his teammates who are heading towards their twenty-ninth Spanish championship title for Barça. Six days before the end of the championship, the Blaugrana are nine points ahead of Real Madrid and should therefore not be joined, barring an improbable catastrophe.
As for Lamine Yamal, he can still hope to participate in the 2026 World Cup with Spain. In its press release, FC Barcelona indicated that for the moment there was not too much fear at this level. It remains to be seen whether the player’s recovery will happen according to the most optimistic scenario.
