FC Barcelona received a hard blow despite their victory for the minimum against Celta de Vigo. Lamine Yamal, one of the main figures of the Barça team this seasonsuffered a muscle injury that will keep him out of the field for the remainder of the league championship.
The young forward was injured in the 40th minute of the match played at the Camp Nou, just moments after having converted the penalty that ended up giving his team a 1-0 victory. After undergoing the corresponding medical tests this Thursday, it was confirmed that he suffers from an injury to the femoral biceps of his left leg, which is why the club decided to apply conservative treatment.
From the Barcelona coaching staff, led by the coach, there is confidence in the footballer’s recovery and peace of mind in knowing that the injury does not compromise his presence in future international commitments. However, Yamal will miss the last six days of LaLiga EA Sports, right in the decisive stretch of the tournament, in which Barça leads the standings with a nine-point advantage over Real Madrid.
Hours after learning of the diagnosis, the attacker and Barça star used his social networks to express his feelings and send a message to both his teammates and the fans. In a text full of emotion and maturity, Lamine regretted not being able to be on the field when he most wanted to help his team, but he made it clear that he will continue to support from the outside.
“This injury leaves me off the field at the moment I most wanted to be, and it hurts more than I can explain. It hurts not to be able to fight with my teammates, not to be able to help when the team needs me. But I believe in them and I know that they are going to give their all in every game.
I will be there, even if it is from the outside, supporting, encouraging and pushing as one more. This is not the end, it’s just a pause. I will come back stronger, with more desire than ever, and next season will be better. Thank you for the message and see Barça.”
Lamine Yamal has been a key piece in Barcelona’s scheme during the season, contributing imbalance, goals and personality despite his youth. His loss represents a challenge for the team at the end of the championship.
Meanwhile, the young forward is already working with his sights set on his recovery, determined to return fully and reaffirm his place as one of the main names of the club’s present and future. Likewise, they are already working to arrive in full condition for the next World Cup, which will be held next summer in the United States, Mexico and Canada, where the Spanish team arrives as one of the candidates to lift the long-awaited trophy.
