"It hasn't been a great few weeks for Barcelona's star player, Lamine Yamal. The youngster has not only struggled with injuries but has also found himself in the thick of speculation regarding his off-the-pitch behaviour. The lowest point came on Sunday when Yamal was the subject of hostility from Real Madrid players and the crowd after the attacker had jokingly made a remark on the club heading into the Clasico."
"But as reported by Diario SPORT, Barcelona remain fully confident in the Rocafonda-born prodigy. The club see him as the long-term leader of their project, symbolised by handing him the No. 10 shirt. For now, their top priority is helping Yamal recover completely from his lingering pubalgia so that he can return to full fitness and rediscover his decisive form from last season."
Lamine Yamal has struggled recently with injuries and off-the-pitch speculation, culminating in hostility from Real Madrid players and fans after a joking remark before the Clasico. Barcelona lost 2-1 in the first El Clasico, and Yamal has failed to influence the match. Since returning from international duty in early September with a pubic injury, the 18-year-old has missed five matches and lacked rhythm in appearances. Barcelona remain fully confident in the Rocafonda-born prodigy, see him as a long-term leader and No.10 heir, and prioritise full recovery from pubalgia while providing close guidance alongside agent Jorge Mendes.
