Overview

  • Barcelona issued an update stating Yamal has discomfort in the pubic area, is unable to train or play, and has no set return date.
  • Hansi Flick said Yamal played for Spain despite pain, did not train between games, and took painkillers while logging 79 and 73 minutes in two qualifiers.
  • The coach confirmed Yamal will miss Valencia and is doubtful for Thursday’s Champions League trip to Newcastle.
  • The RFEF, via local reporting, countered that Barcelona did not alert them to any issue and said Yamal arrived and left Spain camp without reported problems.
  • Yamal totaled 152 minutes and three assists for Spain last week; he skipped Barcelona’s outdoor session for gym work, with Raphinha among potential replacements on the right wing according to local reports.
