- His evaluation was positive, backing continued physiotherapy, specific strengthening and reduced explosive loads rather than immediate surgery.
- Reporting indicates the issue was caught early and remains manageable, though strict adherence to the program is needed to prevent chronic problems.
- After missing five matches and Spain’s October window, Yamal has started recent games and scored in three straight outings.
