"The past few months have seen tensions rise between Barcelona and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) over the handling of Lamine Yamal's fitness. The Blaugrana were unhappy that the 18-year-old was made to play during the September international break despite not being at 100% fit, which has given way to recurring pubalgia issues. Lamine then missed the Spain call-up in October due to the discomfort resurfacing."
"Given the growing tension, Louzan called Barcelona executive, Alejandro Echevarria, on Monday to ease the pressure. Now, he intends to meet with Laporta to put the matter to bed. As for Lamine, he has informed Barcelona of his desire to play the 'Finalissima' on 27 March and hopes that by then "relations between the club and the Federation will have been restored", according to sources close to the player."
Tensions have risen between Barcelona and the Spanish Football Federation over the handling of Lamine Yamal's fitness and recurring pubalgia. Barcelona were unhappy that the 18-year-old played during the September international break despite not being fully fit, which contributed to ongoing discomfort. Lamine missed Spain's October call-up after the discomfort resurfaced and later withdrew from a call-up after undergoing treatment for pubalgia, provoking anger from Spain manager Luis de la Fuente and the RFEF. The RFEF expressed "surprise and discomfort" and said Barcelona should have informed them earlier about treatment and rest. RFEF president Rafael Louzan has contacted Barcelona executives and plans to meet Joan Laporta to resolve the dispute. Lamine wants to play the Finalissima on 27 March and hopes relations will be restored.
