FC Barcelona has released an official injury update confirming that star forward Lamine Yamal will be unavailable for immediate action after suffering a recurrence of discomfort in his pubic area. The setback means the 18-year-old will miss key domestic and international fixtures, including the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers for Spain scheduled in October 2025.
Injury Details and Recovery Timeline
Yamal, who has been a standout performer for the Catalan side this season, experienced the issue once again following the recent UEFA Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain.
Medical assessments carried out by the club’s staff indicate that the young forward is expected to be sidelined for a recovery period of two to three weeks.
This timeline ensures his immediate absence from the crucial domestic clash against Sevilla. More significantly, it rules him out of contention for the Spanish national team’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers this month, a critical blow for La Roja‘s campaign.
Impact on Barcelona and Spain
Yamal’s injury comes at a particularly challenging time for Barcelona as they continue to juggle their domestic title defense with European ambitions. His absence will be keenly felt due to his significant influence on the right flank, impacting the team’s overall creativity and attacking depth.
The club remains optimistic about a complete and stable comeback, with the medical team closely monitoring his rehabilitation. Despite the setback, Yamal remains an integral part of manager Flick’s long-term strategy. Supporters and coaches alike will be eager for the teenager’s return as soon as his recovery period concludes.
