Barcelona star Lamine Yamal suffered an apparent hamstring injury while scoring a penalty in a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo on Wednesday, April 22. According to ESPN, Barcelona fears the teenage superstar has suffered a torn hamstring. With 50 days left until the World Cup begins, the Spain international could be facing a race against time to be fit.
"We have to wait," Barça coach Hansi Flick said after the game. "We have to see what it is. There is something.
He felt it. After the goal, he would not leave the pitch without reason. "So it's something.
Something happened. Hopefully it's not so bad, but we have to wait until tomorrow. " Yamal suffered the injury five minutes before halftime.
After he won a penalty, the winger stepped up and buried the spot kick, but immediately pulled up while grabbing his left hamstring. The 18-year-old was able to walk off under his own power but had to be replaced by Roony Bardghji. Lamine se retiró de la cancha con lesión 👀 pic.
