A Barca star gained a massive amount of muscle in just a few weeks.
FC Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez certainly saw something in Lamine Yamal, which led him to give him more regular playing time over the past couple of months. This is partly explained by the adolescent’s increased physical abilities.
Given the injury problems that have caused new prospects Ansu Fati, Pedri and Gavi to spend significant time on the sidelines, it is natural to fear that 16-year-old Lamine Yamal could suffer the same fate. Especially since Xavi started him for eight matches in a row before the match against Getafe, where he remained on the bench for the entire match.
Lamal gained a lot of muscle
MD says he followed a specific fitness program to prepare him for the rigors of professional football. He has grown by 2.5 cm and the FC Barcelona medical team believes that he will reach a little over 1.90 meters in time. As part of this fitness plan, he has gained 7kg of muscle since the start of the season.
Local media add that Pedri also followed a similar plan in order to bulk up and handle the physicality of the game. It is a delicate balance, especially with Lamine Yamal, who continues to grow naturally. As for Pedri, he has visibly gained volume on the pitch, but he does not yet have the engine he had in his early years, since he returned from his succession of injuries
