FC Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal has been ruled out of the club’s upcoming clash against Sevilla after suffering a hamstring injury during the international break. However, the player is expected to be fit for the Bayern Munich game in the Champions League next week (via ESPN).
The 17-year-old Spanish international was subbed off late during his country’s 1-0 win over Denmark on Saturday, and subsequently withdrew from international duty due to a reported hamstring injury. Per ESPN:
Barça will not take unnecessary risks with Yamal ahead of two huge games against Bayern and Madrid after the international break.
Yamal has started all but one of Barcelona’s games this season under Hansi Flick, coming off the bench during their loss to Osasuna. He has scored 5 goals and assisted 5 times in the campaign so far, putting him ahead of Bayern’s own golden boy Jamal Musiala (who also sat out the international break due to hip issues).
Yamal missing the game would be a major blow to Hansi Flick and FC Barcelona, who surely hope to reverse their lopsided record against the German Rekordmeister this season. With the Catalans already reeling from a slew of injuries, they will hope that the youngster will be fit in time for the game.
