Wednesday 06-05-2026
Lamine Yamal has increased the pace of his rehabilitation program as part of the preparation plan for the World Cup, after making progress in recovering from a tear in the biceps femoris muscle in his left leg. He has started gym workouts at Barcelona's facilities, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo.'

The 18-year-old player was present at the Joan Gamper Sports City on Tuesday, despite the team having a day off, where he continued his rehabilitation program after the injury he sustained against Celta Vigo on April 22. This is a positive indicator after weeks of targeted treatment.

Yamal will not participate in the remainder of the season with Barcelona, as he focuses on full recovery in preparation for the World Cup. There is continuous coordination between the club and the Spanish Football Federation to ensure the recovery process proceeds without risks, aiming for his full readiness by the end of the group stage.

The Spanish national team is scheduled to start its campaign in the tournament with matches against Cape Verde on June 15 and Saudi Arabia on June 21, where the player might get a rest period during these matches.

This comes two weeks after the player's injury, with confirmations that his condition is progressing positively, despite his sadness about missing the final stage of the season. He sent a positive message through his accounts regarding the possibility of his participation in the World Cup.
