Overview

• Barcelona said Yamal’s pubic discomfort reappeared after the PSG match, ruling him out of Sunday’s trip to Sevilla and sidelining him for an estimated 2–3 weeks.
• Spain initially included the winger for World Cup qualifiers on October 11 and 14, then removed him from the squad hours later following the club’s update.
• Spain coach Luis de la Fuente insisted there is no conflict with Hansi Flick and said players are only selected when fit, after Flick’s earlier criticism of Yamal’s usage.
• Barcelona sporting director Deco said he spoke with RFEF counterpart Aitor Karanka to improve communication between club and federation on player care.
• The setback follows an earlier absence of four Barcelona games for the same issue and is expected to keep Yamal out against Girona and Olympiacos, with his Clasico availability on October 26 uncertain.
