Surprising revelation about Lamine Yamal in the El Clasico

(Dan Tri) - According to The Athletic, Lamine Yamal played through the pain in the match against Real Madrid after having to play injured.

Lamine Yamal had a very forgettable El Clasico against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on the evening of October 26. Despite high expectations, Yamal played poorly. According to statistics, the 18-year-old striker touched the ball 79 times and lost the ball 21 times. In addition, he did not score, did not assist, and did not have a shot on target.

Many people believe that Yamal's provocation of Real Madrid before the match unintentionally fanned the flames of war. The star born in 2007 made himself the center of attention and was tightly locked by Los Blancos players.

However, according to The Athletic, Yamal had to play injured. Two weeks ago, Yamal reported to Barcelona about an instep injury. However, with Lewandowski and Raphinha both sidelined, coach Hansi Flick took a risk with Yamal's injury.

Even Barcelona's inside source revealed that the 18-year-old prodigy has to learn to adapt to recurring pain, which prevents him from playing with the best feeling for the ball.

Barcelona are looking for the best specialist in treating the instep area to solve Yamal's problem. They want to treat the injury but do not want to lose Yamal for any game.

Yamal has had to play through the pain in Barcelona's last three games with an instep injury. In the next round, Los Blaugrana will face a weak opponent, Elche. It is not clear whether coach Flick will let the 18-year-old prodigy rest or not.

Due to constant injuries, Yamal has had a difficult start to the season. The striker has only scored 3 goals and had 5 assists in La Liga and the Champions League. That is a rather modest achievement compared to top European strikers like Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane or Erling Haaland.
