Lamine Yamal injury update — Will Barcelona and Spain star be able to play in FIFA World Cup 2026? Lamine Yamal scored the winner for Barcelona against Celta Vigo but was forced to leave the field early with what seemed like a hamstring injury.
Yamal converted from the spot in the 40th minute, but limped off the field with support from the medical team before half-time.
The 18-year-old has 24 goals and 18 assists for Barcelona this season, helping the side remain in pole position to lift the La Liga title. However, Yamal’s hamstring injury could see him miss the remainder of the domestic season, and also puts his World Cup ambitions in jeopardy.
According to Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, initial examinations suggest Yamal has a hamstring tear, which could rule him out for at least five weeks.
Further tests will be conducted on Thursday to determine the full extent of the injury.
Spain will sweat over Yamal’s injury as the forward was a crucial presence in La Furia Roja’s victorious European Championship in 2024, with a goal and seven assists in that tournament.
