Barcelona Deeply Concerned as Lamine Yamal Faces Injury Setback
Barcelona has been plunged into worry after a sudden decline in the condition of young star Lamine Yamal, whose injury could force him to miss key fixtures in La Liga and the Champions League. What troubles the club most is the uncertainty surrounding the exact nature of his problem, with medical details still not fully clarified.
Yamal featured for Spain during the international break despite showing visible fatigue — a decision that surprised and frustrated Barcelona’s staff, who feared the toll it could take on his health.
According to internal reports, his physical condition worsened immediately upon returning to Barcelona, prompting the medical department to intervene with urgent evaluations ahead of a demanding run of matches.
As a precaution, the club has officially ruled him out of the league clash with Valencia and the Champions League showdown against Newcastle — a major setback at a decisive stage of the season.
Catalan journalist Javi Miguel has reported that Yamal is suffering from muscular discomfort in his groin and lower back. The injury requires close daily monitoring, with no clear timeline for recovery until his progress becomes evident.
Frustratingly for Barcelona, the player had already been struggling with these issues before traveling with the Spanish national team. Despite this, he was fielded in two consecutive matches — a decision that coach Hansi Flick believes worsened his condition and has now left Barcelona without one of their most influential young talents.
