"Following the match against Celta Vigo, Barcelona's medical department contacted the Federation's doctors on Sunday night, informing them that an external medical specialist would be visiting Yamal the following day to evaluate his condition more thoroughly. At that stage, the club was unaware that Dr. Schilders, a Belgian specialist, would recommend a radiofrequency treatment that would require a few days of rest."
"In fact, the RFEF's own statement later confirmed that they had been informed of the treatment before 2 p.m. The delay that followed, however, was due to logistical issues rather than negligence. As such, Dr Schilders had to travel to London shortly after performing the treatment, which delayed the delivery of his formal medical report. The document was completed and sent once he arrived in England, after which Barça immediately forwarded it to the Federation."
Lamine Yamal has endured a persistent groin problem since September and underwent a specialised radiofrequency treatment that required rest. After the match against Celta Vigo, Barcelona's medical department informed the Federation's doctors that an external specialist would evaluate Yamal. The club was unaware that Dr. Schilders would recommend radiofrequency requiring a few days' recovery. Barcelona notified the Federation around 1 p.m. on Monday that Yamal would need four to five days' recovery, and the RFEF later confirmed notification before 2 p.m. Logistical issues delayed the specialist's formal report because Dr. Schilders travelled to London; the report later indicated seven to ten days of rest.
