- Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal sustained a hamstring injury after scoring a penalty in his club's 1-0 La Liga victory against Celta Vigo on Wednesday.
- The 18-year-old confidently dispatched his 40th-minute penalty but immediately clutched his left leg in celebration and was subsequently substituted.
- While the exact severity is unconfirmed, early reports from Spanish media suggest a tear in his left hamstring, potentially sidelining him for at least five weeks.
- This injury puts Yamal's participation in crucial upcoming La Liga matches, including El Clasico, at risk.
- There are also concerns that the injury could jeopardise his availability for the upcoming World Cup, although a five-week recovery would allow him to be fit for Spain's opening game on 15 June against Cape Verde.
