Barcelona Rule Out Lamine Yamal for Two to Three Weeks as Club–Country Row Deepens

A two-to-three-week layoff leaves the 18-year-old out for Sevilla, with Spain duty off the table.

Overview

  • Barcelona said recurring groin pain resurfaced after the PSG match, forcing another absence for Lamine Yamal.
  • Yamal will miss Sunday’s LaLiga trip to Sevilla and Spain’s World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Bulgaria.
  • His status for the October 26 Clásico against Real Madrid remains uncertain based on the club’s timeline.
  • Hansi Flick criticized Spain’s handling of the player and raised a painkiller claim, which Luis de la Fuente rejected while denying any conflict.
  • FIFPRO’s recent warnings about heavy workloads for young players provide broader context to the dispute over Yamal’s usage.
