Barcelona have confirmed that Lamine Yamal will miss the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury.
Yamal suffered the issue in the action of scoring a penalty during his side’s 1-0 win over Celta Vigo.
In a statement on Thursday, Barca issued an update on the 18-year-old’s World Cup prospects.
It read: “The tests carried out have confirmed that first-team player Lamine Yamal has a hamstring injury in his left leg (biceps femoris muscle).
“The player will follow a conservative treatment plan. Lamine Yamal will miss the remainder of the season, and he is expected to be available for the World Cup.”
Hansi Flick’s side, who are looking to successfully defend their domestic crown, have six La Liga fixtures left to take in before the 2025-26 campaign comes to a close. Yamal will sit out all of those, including a home date with Real Madrid at Camp Nou on May 10.
