The 18-year-old made his return last Sunday against Real Sociedad and played 90 minutes against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, but he is now forfeited due to a recurrence of his groin injury.
Coach Hansi Flick criticized her Spanish counterpart Luis de la Fuente for her injury management, saying that Roja had not taken care of Lamine Yamal enough. However, it seems that Barcelona also recalled him too early.
Lamine Yamal suffers from a recurrence of groin injury
Lamine Yamal returned from injury against Real Sociedad.
Barcelona has announced that Lamine Yamal's groin pain had reappeared and that it was unavailable for two to three additional weeks. The match against Seville will be missing this weekend and its place against Real Madrid during the Clasico is also uncertain.
The planned time could allow him to come back in time to face Girona after the international break. However, if the match takes place towards the end of the three -week period, Lamine Yamal would then be forfeit for home matches against Girona and Olympiakos after the international break. Three weeks of convalescence would allow him to return on Friday before the Clasico, Barcelona facing Real Madrid only 48 hours later. At that time, Lamine Yamal would have only played 120 minutes in the past seven weeks.
Discussion between Flick and Fuente
Following Flick's critics concerning the management of his injury by Spain, Lamine Yamal was recalled for the Spanish selection on Friday. The Fuente was also asked about the comments of the German and responded to the lack of understanding of Flick. He also denied having taken the slightest risk with the teenage star. However, neither will be delighted with the last twist of the saga.
