"The 17-year-old winger was injured during the Youth League match against Eintracht Frankfurt last week. He landed awkwardly after colliding with opposing defender Yannis Ahouannou and immediately asked for a substitution, leaving the pitch in tears and screaming in pain. Nomoko was operated on at the Hospital de Barcelona by Dr Joan Carles Monllau, the same surgeon who operated on Gavi and Joan Garcia this year, under the supervision of the club's medical services."
"After the operation, Barcelona announced that he will need a full year to recover completely, meaning Nomoko will not wear the blaugrana shirt again until almost 2027. This serious injury represents a major setback for Barça Atletic, as the Spain youth international is one of the standout talents from La Masia and had become a regular in Juliano Belletti's plans."
Sama Nomoko, a 17-year-old winger and Spain youth international, suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee during a Youth League match against Eintracht Frankfurt after colliding with defender Yannis Ahouannou. He was substituted immediately, visibly in pain. He underwent surgery at the Hospital de Barcelona performed by Dr Joan Carles Monllau under the club's medical supervision. The expected recovery time is 12 months, meaning he will not play for Barça Atlètic again until almost 2027. Nomoko had made 14 appearances this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists, and had been a regular in Juliano Belletti's plans.
