The young star Lamine Yamal, a player for Barcelona, continues to suffer from pain in the groin area (pubalgia) since the beginning of the season, an injury that has impacted his performance in the early weeks of the competitions.

According to the newspaper 'ElDesmarque', the injury began during the first international break in September, when a dispute arose between Barcelona and the Spanish Football Federation regarding his international participation, a controversy that still casts a shadow to this day.

A new wave of controversy is feared next Friday when coach Luis de la Fuente announces the Spanish national team's list for the final qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup.

Although Yamal has participated in several Barcelona matches recently, the Catalan club hopes and welcomes the idea of not calling him up to the national team, in order to continue the treatment program supervised by the medical and technical staff led by Hans Flick.

The source clarified that Flick and his coaching team have devised a special treatment plan that includes physical exercises and carefully scheduled rest periods, along with direct instructions from the German coach not to play Yamal the full minutes in every match.

The report concluded by noting that the player has completed only one match out of the last four with Barcelona, and that the Catalan fans share the club's view that he should be given a longer rest period to avoid exacerbating the injury.
