End of season recorded for Lamine Yamal, but concern quickly tempered on the side of Barça and the selection. Out injured during the success against Celta Vigo (1-0), after converting a penalty, the young winger left the pitch limping, raising fears of a serious muscle injury.
The first examinations suggest a tear in the hamstrings, synonymous with the end of the club season. A frustrating situation for the player, but which would not call into question his presence at the next major international meeting.
At a press conference this Friday, on the eve of the trip to Getafe, Hansi Flick wanted to be reassuring. “He is out with us (for this end of the season), but he will be there at the World Cup and he will come back even stronger”he declared.
A first muscle injury
The FC Barcelona coach also insisted on his player’s state of mind: “I really wish him an exceptional World Cup. It’s not an easy situation for us but also for him. We must manage it as best as possible and learn from this injury. I think he’s very focused. He knows it’s his first muscle injury and what I feel is that he is very focused. He has motivation. »
A position which is consistent with the club’s first press release, already ensuring that the young international should be operational for the competition. Less than two months before the tournament kicks off and Spain enters the fray against Cape Verde on June 15, 2026, the staff is reassuring about its ability to hold its place.
