Lamine Yamal, the promising young star from FC Barcelona, has been sidelined by a grade 1 injury to the syndesmosis in his right ankle, keeping him out of action for the past few weeks.

This injury prevented him from participating in the recent Spanish national team matches during the November FIFA window.

Barcelona’s next match is scheduled for November 23, 2024, against Celta de Vigo.

Initially, the recovery period was estimated to be two to three weeks, but sources close to the club indicate that Yamal has not yet been medically cleared and continues with his rehabilitation process.

Therefore, his participation in this weekend’s match remains uncertain.

Barcelona’s coaching staff prefers not to rush his return to avoid potential setbacks and ensure a full recovery, although the player could potentially see some minutes.
