Lamine Yamal should finally be operational for the World Cup with Spain. Certainly his season with FC Barcelona ended on Wednesday evening but he will be back on his feet in time to join his selection. The timing still looks tight. Sport evokes an absence of around 6 weeks, while the first match of La Roja comes in 48 days. The player himself was very scared as reported A.S..
In the wake of his injury, and even while he was taking his first exams, the 18-year-old winger was not at all optimistic. “This is a very serious injury“, he wrote to some of his teammates. The press release published by FC Barcelona yesterday even suggested that an operation was considered, speaking of “conservative treatment.» Precautions are therefore required.
