Barcelona's young forward Lamine Yamal, a rising star with six goals and 11 assists this season, will be sidelined for three to four weeks due to an ankle ligament injury sustained against Leganés. This injury recurrence is concerning as it brings back memories of his earlier injury which kept him out for a significant period. The team now faces a crucial matchup against Atlético Madrid without one of their key attacking players.
The club confirmed, 'Tests carried out on Monday have revealed Yamal has an injury to a ligament in the ankle. He is expected to be out for three to four weeks.' This statement underscores the severity of the situation as Barcelona prepares for a pivotal LaLiga clash with Atlético, both teams level on points.
Yamal, instrumental in Spain's European Championship victory last summer, has quickly become a standout player under Hansi Flick's tenure at Barcelona. In 21 appearances across competitions, he has contributed six goals and provided 11 assists, forming a dynamic partnership with Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.
With the LaLiga title race tight as Barcelona and Atlético Madrid compete closely, missing Yamal could significantly impact Barcelona's attacking options as they navigate through the critical matches coming up during the winter break.
