Less than two months before the curtain rises on the World Cup, there is obviously concern for any player forced to leave the game prematurely due to injury. This Wednesday evening, bad luck struck at the Camp Nou, falling on FC Barcelona star Lamine Yamal. And La Roja inevitably has to be on alert.
The Catalan prodigy had to leave the field shortly before the break, when he had just converted the penalty to open the score (1-0, 40e). His celebration run barely underway, the Blaugrana striker gestured to his bench before lying down on the pitch, clearly injured in the back of his left thigh.
Cancelo too…
20 minutes earlier, Portuguese defender Joao Cancelo had suffered the same fate, possibly being hit in the right knee. A difficult evening, therefore, for a Barça which nevertheless heads straight towards its 29e title of champion of Spain.
