The situation of Lamine Yamal, 17-year-old FC Barcelona prodigy, is increasingly worrying. Absent since November 10 due to an ankle injury, the Catalan winger is said to be suffering from syndesmosis, an inflammation of the joint between the fibula and the Achilles heel. This injury, identical to the one which kept Frenkie de Jong away from the field for six months, could lead to a long unavailability for Yamal, according to José Alvarez of El Chiringuito.
During the last match against Brest (3-0) in the Champions League, coach Hansi Flick expressed his hope of finding Yamal again soon, declaring: “I hope this will be the last game without him, but we will have to wait. » However, the caution of the Barcelona medical staff could postpone his return to 2025.
Barça bets on caution
FC Barcelona, burned by the case of De Jong, prefers to avoid a worsening of Yamal’s injury. The player still feels pain during his physical tests, which pushes the club to insist on complete rest. Already the author of 6 goals and 8 assists this season, Yamal had established himself as an essential cog in the Blaugrana attack. His prolonged absence would be a big blow for the La Liga leader.
