The World Cup isn't over for Yamal yet, but the door is closing. |
Yamal is facing a worrying period as his latest injury may be more serious than initially anticipated. Dr. Ripoll, a renowned sports medicine expert, believes the young Barcelona star's condition needs to be handled with utmost caution due to the 30% risk of recurrence.
"Lamine Yamal's injury has a 30% recurrence rate, so extreme caution is needed regarding the recovery time," he stated.
According to Dr. Ripoll, the severity will depend on the location of the muscle damage.
"If the injury is in the core of the muscle, the prognosis is more favorable. But if it occurs at the junction between the muscle and tendon, or directly in the tendon, things could be much more serious," Ripoll shared. The doctor also stated that in a worst-case scenario, Yamal would have to be sidelined for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
This news is causing concern for both the Spanish national team and Barcelona. Yamal is currently one of the most important players for both his club and the national team, despite being only a teenager.
His explosive performances over the last two seasons have given Spain high expectations ahead of the upcoming World Cup. However, his current fitness issues could disrupt all those plans.
"Considering the risk of recurrence, it seems very difficult for him to be included in the World Cup squad in time. Maximum caution is needed," Dr. Ripoll emphasized.
That message showed that Spain couldn't risk their biggest gem. At such a young age, forcing Yamal to return too soon could have long-term consequences.
Barcelona certainly wouldn't want to gamble the future of their most important attacking player for the sake of a few upcoming matches.
The 2026 World Cup is not yet over for Yamal, but the door is closing. Right now, the most important thing for the Spanish football prodigy is not racing against time, but recovering properly.
In the early hours of April 23rd, Yamal suffered an injury after taking a penalty kick in the 1-0 victory against Celta Vigo in the 33rd round of La Liga.
