VERY SAD NEWS: Barcelona Star Boy Lamine Yamal Faces Fresh Injury Concerns 💔 | Barcelona & Spain Fans Worried!.

Lamine Yamal won’t be joining the Spanish national team for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Georgia and Bulgaria. Despite being included in Luis de la Fuente’s squad, Barcelona’s latest medical update revealed that the 18-year-old winger has a pubic bone injury that will keep him sidelined for two to three weeks.

The Controversy Surrounding Yamal’s Injury

The situation has sparked controversy, as the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) claims they were not informed about the severity of Yamal’s injury until after the squad was announced. In fact, during a conversation between Barcelona and the RFEF on Thursday, the club mentioned that Yamal was “very fatigued and with discomfort” after the Champions League loss to PSG, but assured he would play against Sevilla on Sunday. However, a medical report issued by Barça on Friday afternoon revealed the extent of the injury, leaving the Federation blindsided.

Tension Between Barcelona and the RFEF

This incident has added to the ongoing tension between Barcelona and the RFEF, with communication lapses fueling the controversy. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick had previously criticized the Spanish Federation for playing Yamal despite visible discomfort, leading to a public spat between the two parties. De la Fuente responded, expressing surprise at Flick’s comments and emphasizing the importance of empathy.

Impact on Yamal’s Availability

The injury will likely keep Yamal out for two to three weeks, making him doubtful for Barcelona’s upcoming match against Sevilla and potentially affecting his availability for the El Clasico against Real Madrid on October 26. The RFEF has stated that they prioritize player safety and won’t take any unnecessary risks.¹ ²
