Spanish football giants Barcelona faced a worrying moment concerning their star forward, Lamine Yamal, during their recent encounter with Celta Vigo.
The incident occurred during the Blaugrana’s domestic league fixture, where they aimed to re-establish a nine-point lead over rivals Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table.
Unfortunately, Barcelona encountered more than just the challenge of the game, facing two significant blows to their squad during the match.
Earlier in the game, defender João Cancelo was forced off the field with a knee complaint, visibly limping as he departed.
Shortly after Cancelo’s departure, the highly-rated Lamine Yamal also had to leave the pitch prematurely due to an issue.
After successfully converting a penalty late in the first half, the young winger immediately indicated he was experiencing discomfort.
The 18-year-old subsequently went to the ground and was seen limping directly towards the tunnel.
An official update on Yamal’s condition is anticipated following the conclusion of the match.
Original French Text:
Les géants de la Liga, Barcelone, ont été contraints mercredi de s’inquiéter du bien-être de leur star attaquante, Lamine Yamal.
Cela est dû aux développements lors de la rencontre des Blaugrana avec le Celta Vigo.
Les troupes de Hansi Flick sont actuellement engagées sur le front intérieur, espérant rétablir un avantage de neuf points sur leurs rivaux jurés, le Real Madrid, en tête du classement de la Liga.
En l’état actuel des choses, c’est précisément ce que Barcelone semble se diriger vers.
En cours de route, cependant, les Catalans ont été frappés non pas par un, mais par deux revers sur le plan du personnel.
Tout d’abord, en début de partie, le défenseur João Cancelo s’est plaint d’une gêne au genou, avant de quitter le terrain en boitant.
Et le Portugais a été bientôt rejoint dans le départ prématuré de l’action par le susmentionné Lamine Yamal.
Après avoir marqué sur penalty en fin de première mi-temps, l’ailier Lamine a immédiatement signalé qu’il avait un problème.
À partir de là, le joueur de 18 ans est tombé au sol, avant de repartir directement au vestiaire en boitant.
Une mise à jour sur son état de santé est attendue après le match.
English Translation:
La Liga giants Barcelona have on Wednesday been forced to sweat over the wellbeing of star attacker Lamine Yamal.
This comes owing to developments in the Blaugrana’s meeting with Celta Vigo.
Hansi Flick’s troops are currently locked in action on the domestic front, hopeful of reestablishing a nine-point advantage over arch rivals Real Madrid atop the La Liga table.
As things stand, this is precisely what Barcelona find themselves headed towards.
Along the way, however, the Catalans have been hit with not one, but two blows on the personnel front.
First, early in proceedings, defender João Cancelo pulled up with a knee complaint, before limping from the field of play.
And the Portuguese was soon followed in departing the action prematurely by the aforementioned Lamine Yamal.
After slotting home from the penalty spot late in the first-half, winger Lamine immediately signalled that he was dealing with an issue.
From here, the 18-year-old went to ground, before also limping straight down the tunnel.
An update on his wellbeing is expected post-match.
