Barcelona's Lamine Yamal Out for Up to Four Weeks with Ankle Injury

The 17-year-old winger will miss key matches, including a top-of-the-table clash with Atlético Madrid, after sustaining a ligament injury in a weekend defeat.

Lamine Yamal suffered a grade one injury to the anterior tibiofibular ligament in his right ankle during Barcelona's 1-0 loss to Leganés on Saturday.
The injury is expected to sideline the 17-year-old for three to four weeks, as confirmed by medical tests on Monday.
Barcelona's defeat to Leganés has intensified the LaLiga title race, with Atlético Madrid now level on points and holding a game in hand, while Real Madrid is just one point behind.
Yamal, a standout player for Barcelona this season with six goals and 11 assists, previously missed three matches in November due to an injury to the same ankle.
The winger is also likely to miss Barcelona's Copa del Rey match against Barbastro and the Spanish Super Cup semifinal in January.
