Barcelona Face New Lamine Yamal Injury Blow<\/h2>\n

What Happened To Yamal?<\/h3>\n

The 17-year-old winger was troubled by the physical Leganes players and one of the nasty challenges ended up causing him a lot of harm. Yamal suffered an ankle injury in the first half, but the Spanish heavyweights’ medical staff opted to let him play in the second half which potentially caused even more damage.<\/p>\n

Barcelona have confirmed<\/a> that Yamal will now be out of action for close to a month after damaging his ankle ligament. In an official statement, they stated: “The first team player Lamine Yamal received a blow to the right ankle during the game against CD Legan\u00e9s on Sunday. Tests carried out on Monday have revealed that the player has a grade 1 injury to a ligament in the ankle. The player is expected to be out for 3 to 4 weeks.”<\/p>\n

Which Matches Will Yamal Miss Because Of the Injury?<\/h3>\n

The Spanish winger’s absence will definitely be felt by Barcelona in their next few matches. He has been ruled out of the upcoming game against Atletico Madrid in La Liga, which is a must-win for Hansi Flick’s side to maintain their place on top of the league table. Fortunately for the La Liga heavyweights, the league will have its winter break towards the end of December and the first few weeks of January (2025).<\/p>\n

Yamal, however, looks set to miss their 2024\/25 Copa Del Rey round of 32 clash against Barbastro and potentially their SuperCopa de Espana semi-final against Atletico Bilbao in the first games of the new year too. That will be a big blow for Flick’s team, who have been quite dependent on the winger to bring that added spark to their side this season. Yamal has scored six goals and provided 12 assists in 21 appearances so far in this campaign, being one of the most prolific players in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
