Lamine Yamal is very affected by the injury to the biceps femoris he suffered on Wednesday in the match against Celta at the Spotify Camp Nou. The injury forces him to say goodbye to the season with Barcelona, although he will be recovered in time to play in the World Cup with Spain. The Barcelona youth player expressed his emotions in a text he posted on social media
“This injury keeps me off the field at the time I most wanted to be, and it hurts more than I can explain. It hurts not to be able to fight with my teammates, not to be able to help when the team needs me. But I believe in them and I know they are going to give their all in every game. I will be there, even if it is from the outside, supporting, encouraging and pushing like one more. This is not the end, it is just a pause. I will come back stronger, more eager than ever, and next season will be better. Thanks for the messages and Visca el Bara,” said Lamine.

His post received thousands of reactions immediately, many of them from his teammates. Fermin Lopez, Marc Bernal, Ferran Torres, Marc Casado were some of the players who encouraged him in public, as they had also done privately hours earlier

The players already supported him yesterday, Wednesday, in the dressing room and when he threw himself on the ground just after converting the penalty that gave the three points to Barcelona against Celta. He was injured when he took the shot. They also supported him this morning at the Ciudad Deportiva, where Lamine underwent medical tests that confirmed the injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg. The young footballer from Rocafonda will follow a conservative treatment to overcome the injury
Lamine, 18, is a key player in Hansi Flick’s side, who will have to rebuild the team in the six LaLiga matches that remain to be played. Bara are looking to seal the regular national tournament title, and will have to do so without their star player. The Blaugrana are nine points ahead of Real Madrid, and on May 10 there is a Clasico at the Spotify Camp Nou. The winger will be available for the World Cup.
