Barcelona Rule Lamine Yamal Out vs. Sevilla as Groin Issue Puts Clásico in Doubt

Hansi Flick commits to step-by-step load management to protect the 18-year-old's recovery.

Overview

  • Barcelona confirmed the winger will miss the Sevilla trip due to pubic discomfort, with a club timetable of roughly two to three weeks.
  • Flick said the injury is unpredictable and declined to say whether Yamal would be ready in two, three or even four weeks, leaving the Clásico uncertain.
  • The problem flared after he played 90 minutes in the loss to Paris Saint-Germain, following a September announcement that he could not train or play.
  • Published lineups for SevillaBarcelona excluded Yamal and showed Roony Bardghji starting on the right as Flick adjusts the attack.
  • Friction with Spain’s setup resurfaced over Yamal’s previous national-team usage, while Marc Bernal’s U21 call-up was quickly withdrawn for physical issues.
