The Blaugrana winger, a key piece in Hansi Flick's system, will miss crucial matches. The first is the showdown against Atlético de Madrid in LaLiga, followed by Barcelona's debut in the Copa del Rey against modest Barbastro. Additionally, his participation in the Supercopa de España is in doubt, as the Catalan team will face Athletic Club on January 8 in Saudi Arabia.

Lamine Yamal Suffers Injury and Will Be Out for Three to Four Weeks

FC Barcelona has confirmed that young winger Lamine Yamal will miss the upcoming weeks of competition due to a right ankle injury, sustained during the match against CD Leganés. Medical tests conducted at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper revealed a grade 1 injury to the anterior tibiofibular ligament, which will sideline him for approximately three to four weeks.

Yamal's injury occurred in the 16th minute of the match when he received a heavy tackle. Although he attempted to continue, the pain forced him to leave the pitch in the 75th minute, causing concern for both the coaching staff and the fans. 

Optimism for the Supercopa

Despite the prognosis, the medical staff remains hopeful that Lamine Yamal can recover in time to compete in the Supercopa de España. The player has already begun his recovery process with the intention of being ready for the semifinal in Jeddah.

The winger's ankle progress will be crucial for Barça to count on his talent in a tournament that could mark the first title of the season. Meanwhile, Hansi Flick will have to find alternatives to cover the absence of one of his most outstanding players.
