Barcelona has confirmed that young forward Lamine Yamal has sustained a grade 1 right ankle syndesmosis injury, sidelining him for an estimated two to three weeks. The injury, which typically requires careful management to prevent aggravation, will keep the 16-year-old out of crucial La Liga fixtures as Barcelona continues to chase top standings in the league.
Yamal, who has made a strong impression this season with his agility and playmaking skills, will undergo focused rehabilitation. Manager Xavi Hernandez will need to adjust his attacking lineup in Yamal’s absence, potentially relying on Ferran Torres or Ansu Fati for added depth. The team hopes to have Yamal back at full strength as soon as possible, with his return anticipated in early December.
