Lamine Yamal suffers an irreversible injury

(Dan Tri) - Barcelona star Lamine Yamal was diagnosed with Pubalgia, a chronic groin injury with no definitive treatment.

Pubalgia, also known as sports hernia, is a persistent and common injury that often plagues professional soccer players. This injury occurs when the muscles in the lower abdomen and groin are overstretched, leading to prolonged pain that seriously affects the ability to play.

Yamal's current health condition is making Barcelona's coaching staff and fans restless. The Spanish prodigy has had to miss 5 matches of the Catalan team in all competitions due to persistent injury.

Although the 18-year-old player endured the pain to return in the El Clasico against Real Madrid on October 26, Yamal still grimaced many times on the field because of the pain.

Explaining Yamal's injury, Barcelona physiotherapist Lluis Puig said: "First of all, we have to say that Pubalgia is not a normal muscle injury but a change in the lower abdomen, where different muscle groups converge.

This injury can be caused by a number of factors, including Yamal's posture during movement and some of his muscles changing as he grows. It is a difficult injury to treat.

It is characterised by pain that reduces the player's ability to move and shoot by almost 50%, exactly what we saw in the Clasico."

Barcelona doctors expressed deep concern that the condition could become a chronic problem that would last throughout Yamal's career and they were forced to immediately develop a special management plan to closely monitor the intensity of matches and training, ensuring that the Barcelona striker was not overloaded.

This season, Yamal is showing quite impressive form. He scored 2 goals and had 5 assists after only 6 matches in La Liga, continuing to prove himself as an irreplaceable factor in coach Hansi Flick's squad.

The young star born in 2007 also won 2 La Liga titles with Barcelona and won Euro 2024 with the Spanish team.

Yamal’s injury is a big challenge for this star as well as FC Barcelona. If not controlled well, the 18-year-old talent will face the risk of frequent injury recurrence, a scenario that has stalled the careers of many big stars.

In the final stage of the year with a tight schedule, Barcelona is forced to act extremely cautiously to protect its "precious gem". Maximum caution is a mandatory requirement for Yamal to develop sustainably, avoiding the risk of having to take a long break from playing.
