Yamal limps off after sealing Barcelona win over Celta

  • On Wednesday, Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal suffered a hamstring injury after scoring a decisive penalty in a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo, forcing the 18-year-old's substitution before half-time.

  • Spain faces significant concern with the 2026 World Cup beginning in less than 50 days, as medical benchmarks suggest a Grade 2 injury could require three to eight weeks on the sidelines.
  • Midfielder Pedri expressed optimism, stating, "Hopefully Lamine will only miss a few weeks," while Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said, "We have to wait" regarding the diagnosis.
  • A complete rupture would require surgery and up to six months of recovery, a scenario that would end his domestic season and threaten his availability for the World Cup.
