Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal will be sidelined for 3-4 weeks after sustaining an ankle ligament injury during the La Liga match against Leganes, where Barcelona suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat. The injury occurred in the first half after a tackle by Ivan Nehu, but Yamal managed to stay on the field until the 75th minute.
Following medical examinations, Barcelona confirmed that the young Spanish talent had suffered ligament damage in his ankle. This setback means Yamal will miss several crucial matches, including the highly anticipated clash against Atletico Madrid on December 21.
The injury comes as a significant blow to Barcelona, as Yamal has been instrumental in the team’s La Liga campaign this season. In 16 matches, he has contributed 5 goals and 9 assists, showcasing his talent and importance to the squad.
Barcelona will need to adjust their attacking strategy in Yamal’s absence as they aim to maintain their position in the La Liga standings. The club and its fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for the promising winger, who has been one of the standout performers this season.
