- Yamal had limped off the pitch during Wednesday’s 1-0 league win over Celta Vigo
Barcelona attacker Lamine Yamal will miss the rest of the season due to a amstring injury in the left leg, but the Spain international is expected to be available for this year’s World Cup, the LaLiga side said on Thursday.
Yamal had limped off the pitch during Wednesday’s 1-0 league win over Celta Vigo, where the 18-year-old scored the only goal from the penalty spot.
“The tests carried out have confirmed that first-team player Lamine Yamal has a hamstring injury in his left leg (biceps femoris muscle),” Barcelona posted on X.
“The player will follow a conservative treatment plan. Lamine Yamal will miss the remainder of the season, and he is expected to be available for the World Cup.”
Spain will kick off their World Cup campaign with a Group H game against Cape Verde on June 15.
