Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has suffered a fresh setback after experiencing renewed discomfort in the pubis area, the same injury that sidelined him for three weeks earlier this season. According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the 18-year-old forward will now miss upcoming fixtures for both club and country, including Barcelona’s clash against Sevilla and Spain’s international matches.

🩺 Injury Update: Pubis Pain Returns for Yamal

Barcelona’s medical team confirmed that Yamal is experiencing pain in the same region that previously kept him out of action. The club’s statement revealed:

“Pubis area discomfort has returned for Lamine as he will be out for 2 to 3 weeks.”

This development comes just 10 days after Yamal returned to full training and featured in Barcelona’s recent matches. His recovery had been closely monitored, but the recurrence has raised concerns about long-term management of the issue.

🇪🇸 Spain Call-Up Controversy: Flick vs. De La Fuente

Despite the injury concerns, Spain head coach Luis De La Fuente included Yamal in the squad for the upcoming international break. This decision has sparked tension, especially given the history of Yamal’s injury aggravation during national duty.

In September, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was reportedly unhappy with Spain’s handling of Yamal, who played through pain and returned injured. When asked about Flick’s criticism, De La Fuente responded bluntly:

“Flick accuses me? I do not remember what he said anymore… and I don’t care.”

The friction between club and country over player welfare has reignited debate about how young talents like Yamal should be managed, especially during congested fixture periods.

❌ Matches Missed: Sevilla and Spain Fixtures in Doubt

Yamal is now officially ruled out of Barcelona’s La Liga fixture against Sevilla and is expected to miss Spain’s next two international games. His absence is a blow to both teams, given his explosive form and creative influence on the pitch.

Barcelona will likely turn to Ferran Torres or João Félix to fill the void on the wing, while Spain may need to reshuffle their attacking options with Nico Williams and Bryan Zaragoza expected to step up.
