Lamine Yamal has been all the rage in FC Barcelona since the start of the season. After becoming the youngest player to debut for Barcelona last season, the player has made this record with the Spanish national team as well and has also become the youngest player to score for Spain.
The winger has played significant minutes with Barcelona in the early stages of the season, and tonight, he can also make his Champions League debut with the club. If he plays and scores tonight, he will become the youngest player to score in the premier European competition, beating Ansu Fati.
Yamal not yet to feature in EA Sports FC
Achieving so many great things only at the age of 16 makes him a marvel in the world of football. However, his youth has also led to a surprising circumstance, which will be felt particularly by the young football fans.
As SPORT has reported, Lamine Yamal will not feature in this year’s edition of EA Sports FC, the most popular football game in the world. The reason for his exclusion is that the franchise does not feature players under seventeen years of age, and being only sixteen currently, Yamal would not be available for players of this game.
Ansu Fati also missed out on FIFA 20
Another Barcelona player has also experienced this exclusion due to his age, as Ansu Fati, who is currently on loan at Brighton, also did not feature in FIFA 20 as he was not seventeen years of age at that time.
Lamine Yamal has already become a reality in the footballing world and is no longer only a potential talent who can break through in the coming years. However, EA Sports FC players will have to wait to have him in the Ultimate Teams or Career Modes till the next year when he turns seventeen and becomes eligible to feature in the game.
