There continues to be a lot of speculation surrounding Barcelona star Lamine Yamal following his recent discomfort. Despite sources claiming that a serious injury have been ruled out, the player’s physical condition remains under strict supervision. In fact, the Barcelona star will reportedly end up leaving the Spanish National team camp early as well.
As per recent information, the 17-year-old La Masia talent is expected to return to Barcelona and the club is hoping to run further medical examinations to confirm the state of his discomfort. So far, the medical tests already conducted seem to highlight that while there is no severe injury in play, the player does have a muscle strain.
Now, however, there is another doubt that is reportedly beginning to creep in. According to Javi Miguel, Barcelona are waiting to confirm the initial prognosis that states that Yamal has an overload in his left leg’s femoral biceps. In the event that this is confirmed by the club, the player would become a doubt for the Sevilla game.
Right after the international break concludes, Barcelona will return to La Liga action against Sevilla at the Montjuic Stadium. So far, that game seemed to have been a great match to look forward to for Barça given that many of their key players are expected to make their returns in that clash.
With this new concerning Yamal, however, that excitement will likely be brought down. For both Barcelona as an entity and for Hansi Flick’s team, the presence of the €150 million-rated star winger is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Without him in the team, La Blaugrana lose a great asset in terms of overall quality.
Moreover, while there is still no information about Yamal’s participation for the games against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid right after the Sevilla clash, it must be noted that only three points separate the Catalan giants and their second-placed El Clasico rivals in La Liga. Thus, every game is a must-win and losing Yamal for the Sevilla game would be a huge blow in itself.
