Lamine Yamal, the young talent of FC Barcelona, is dedicated to his recovery as he works to return to the pitch as soon as possible. The 17-year-old forward sustained a Grade 1 injury to his anterior tibiofibular ligament during the match against Leganés. Currently, he is spending the holiday season in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) with his cousin Mohamed and his friend Souhaib. The trio recently shared a photo from a gym on social media, showing that the work continues even during the break.

Recovery with an Eye on the Spanish Super Cup

Although Lamine Yamal has been ruled out of Barça’s Copa del Rey debut on January 4 in Barbastro, he is aiming to be fit for the Spanish Super Cup semifinals against Athletic Club on January 8. The young winger is undergoing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, an advanced treatment designed to speed up recovery. This innovative method could be crucial in helping him compete for Barça’s first trophy of the season.

Extended Stay in Dubai or Return to Barcelona

Lamine Yamal will not participate in FC Barcelona’s open training session on November 29 at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, allowing him to potentially extend his stay in the UAE. However, a return to Barcelona before the end of the holiday period remains an option, as he may continue his rehabilitation under the guidance of the club’s medical and recovery teams.
