Lamine Yamal suffers hamstring injury during Barcelona win and now risks missing the World Cup.
Lamine Yamal is facing an uncertain period after suffering a hamstring injury during Barcelona’s win over Celta Vigo.
The 18-year-old scored from the penalty spot in the 40th minute, but had to leave the pitch shortly after.
According to early reports, the injury may have occurred earlier in the match and worsened before his substitution.
Initial assessments suggest a serious muscle problem, with further tests expected to confirm the full extent.
There is growing concern that Yamal’s season is over.
For Barcelona, the timing is less critical. The club is close to securing the La Liga title, while they are already out of the Champions League and the cup.
The bigger concern lies elsewhere.
The World Cup, which begins on June 11, is now in doubt for one of football’s most exciting young talents.
Spain had expected Yamal to play a key role, given his impact and growing importance on the international stage.
Now, the focus shifts to recovery.
Hamstring injuries often require time, and Yamal faces a race against the clock to be fit for the tournament.
He is not out of contention yet, but uncertainty remains as medical evaluations continue.
The coming days will be crucial in determining whether he can return in time for the biggest stage.
