In a recent Spanish league match, Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal suffered an injury in the first half and had to leave the pitch. Initial reports indicate that he may have sustained a hamstring tear, with more definitive information expected after medical examinations.
According to Javi Miguel of AS, if the injury is confirmed as a minor tear, Yamal could be sidelined for two to three weeks. However, a more severe diagnosis would mean he may not return to play for the remainder of the season.
Furthermore, Mundo Deportivo has reported that Yamal’s participation in the remaining matches of the current campaign is now highly uncertain, raising concerns about his availability for the 2026 World Cup.
Notably, in the same match, Yamal became the youngest footballer to score 30 goals in Europe’s top five leagues since Jimmy Greaves, who achieved the milestone for Chelsea on August 30, 1958.
By the way, midway through the first half, full-back Joao Cancelo picked up an injury.
