Last week, Rodri (28) warned about the hellish pace imposed on professional footballers. On Sunday, the Spaniard was unfortunately injured during the clash against Arsenal in the Premier League. He suffers from a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee and will be out for at least nine months. Yesterday, Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) joined the Real Madrid infirmary. The Frenchman will miss approximately three weeks of competition due to an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg. On the side of the Barcelona rival, we are not spared from physical problems either. The last player to be on the flank is Marc-André ter Stegen. The German, who suffers a complete rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee, is out for the rest of the season.
Lamine Yamal enjoyed it again
Which is a big blow to the head of the Culés. The latter do not want to lose any more key elements of the team, in particular Lamine Yamal. At 17 years old, the Spanish international is one of the key and essential pieces of the Barcelona squad. Hans Dieter Flick is counting on him. This season, he has already participated in 8 matches in all competitions (706 minutes of play in total). Time to score 4 goals and deliver 5 assists. Starting last night against Getafe in La Liga, Lamine Yamal was not directly involved in Robert Lewandowski’s winning goal (1-0). But he again delivered a great performance. For all of his work, Mundo Deportivo gave it an 8 and praised it.
“Another “here I am” number he displays every time he sees the team in difficulty. He was one of the strong links in the 1-0 and flirted with the idea of scoring his own goal on several occasions, one of them aborted by a save from Soria and another hidden by the crossbar . His end of the match is something never seen in another seventeen-year-old than him.” For his part, Sport was also seduced. “Getafe’s defense put him under strict surveillance, going 2 on 1. Despite this, he managed to escape and show his quality, as in his brilliant assist to Lewy who was out -game. »
A player who is not protected enough
Hansi Flick was also won over by his young player. “Lamine Yamal? I think quality has nothing to do with age. At his age, he is doing incredible things. He can become the best, that’s for sure.” Despite everything, his case is worrying in Spain. Yesterday, he was seen limping after the game. Enough to make Blaugrana fans tremble. But not only that. Indeed, the press is also concerned about the treatment of crack cocaine. “Lamine Yamal: unprotected”also wrote Marca this Thursday. The Madrid media then elaborated: the team of young culés suffered intense marking from Getafe. Luis Milla, Sola, Yellu, Uche, Iglesias… took turns or worked at the same time to stop the Catalan incursions on the right wing.
Marca added: “from the initial whistle, the Montjuïc stands were screaming every time the Spain international received a tackle, fearing that their big star would go down injured. Even Raphinha, captain, went to speak with the referee González Fuertes to denounce some of the actions suffered by his young teammate, who despite the situation, continued to stand out and escape. It’s unstoppable.” The media and supporters alike are asking for Lamine Yamal to be a little more protected, as he receives special preferential treatment in La Liga. At Barça, we absolutely do not want to lose the young Iberian talent, who will have a lot to do this season even though he is more expected than before.
