— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) December 16, 2024
Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has suffered another injury after being forced off during the Catalan club’s 1-0 defeat to Leganes at Estadi Olímpic. The 17-year-old, who recently won the prestigious Golden Boy 2024 award, suffered an ankle injury after a heavy tackle in the 16th minute. Although he initially managed to continue, Yamal’s condition deteriorated and he was substituted in the 75th minute. The setback comes just weeks after the winger returned from a similar ankle injury suffered during Barcelona’s clash with Red Star Belgrade in November, which saw him sidelined for almost three weeks.
Barcelona have confirmed that Yamal’s latest injury is a grade 1 ligament sprain, ruling him out for at least three weeks and effectively ending his year. His absence adds to the challenges he faces Hansi Flicks team, which has struggled with consistency this season. Yamal is expected to miss Barcelona’s final La Liga match of the year against Atletico Madrid on December 21 and possibly the Spanish Super Cup in January. Despite the promising form he has shown since his return, this latest setback leaves Barcelona without one of their most dynamic talents entering a crucial period.
