According to reports from COPЕ, citing journalist Helena Condis on the programme Tiempo de Juego, an initial assessment in the dressing room has revealed that Lamine Yamal has sustained a hamstring muscle tear.

The injury occurred moments after the Barcelona star confidently converted a penalty against Celta Vigo in a La Liga clash. In a dramatic turn, the young forward was unable to celebrate his goal, immediately clutching his thigh before signalling for a substitution. Clearly in distress, Yamal left the pitch in tears, raising immediate concern among teammates and fans alike.

This setback is a major blow not only for FC Barcelona supporters but also for the Spain national team coaching staff. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 now less than two months away, a hamstring injury of this nature could sideline Lamine Yamal for anywhere between several weeks and a few months. A definitive diagnosis and recovery timeline will be confirmed following further medical examinations scheduled in the coming days.
