Overview

  • Barcelona say the 18-year-old has suffered a recurrence of pubic/groin discomfort after the PSG match, sidelining him for an estimated 2–3 weeks.
  • He will miss Sunday’s trip to Sevilla and Spain’s World Cup qualifiers against Georgia on Oct. 11 and Bulgaria on Oct. 14.
  • Spain initially named Yamal to the squad, then withdrew him hours later after receiving Barcelona’s medical information, the RFEF said in a statement.
  • Flick called the injury difficult to manage and said there is no firm timeline for a return, with the winger working with the recovery staff and his status for Oct. 26 at Real Madrid uncertain.
  • The setback follows a September groin issue picked up on Spain duty, and club–federation tensions over his care have prompted Deco to engage RFEF counterparts to improve communication.
