BARCELONA (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Barcelona is trembling, but Spain is also trembling, especially Spain, which may have to do without Lamine Yamal for the World Cup. The striker was injured during the match against Celta Vigo, after scoring the penalty that effectively decided the match. Spanish media are talking about a possible hamstring injury in his left thigh, but more will be known in the next few hours: Yamal is currently expected to be out for four to six weeks.

But Dr. Pedro Luis Ripoll, one of Spain’s leading sports medicine specialists, has warned about the risks of a hasty return: “This type of injury has a recurrence rate of 30%, so we must be very careful.” And precisely for this reason, considering that there are 50 days to go until the start of the World Cup, “it seems difficult to me to call him up.”
