Lamine Yamal Could Return Sooner Than Expected

FC Barcelona might soon have reason to celebrate as updates regarding their talented young player, Lamine Yamal, appear promising. On November 11, the club confirmed that Yamal would be out of action for two to three weeks due to a grade 1 syndesmosis injury in his right ankle. This setback also forced him to miss the latest Spain national team call-up.

However, according to a recent report from As, Yamal’s recovery is progressing faster than initially anticipated. There is a possibility that he could make an appearance in Barcelona’s upcoming game against Celta Vigo on Saturday, scheduled for 9:00 PM. While he is expected to play with a protective bandage on his ankle, the young star is reportedly no longer experiencing pain. This improvement could enable him to participate for approximately 20 to 25 minutes during the match.

Yamal’s absence has been felt by the team during a challenging phase, with Barcelona suffering back-to-back La Liga defeats against Osasuna and Real Sociedad. His return could offer the squad a vital boost as they aim to regain their winning momentum.

In addition to Yamal’s potential comeback, Barcelona has more good news: Robert Lewandowski, Eric García, and Héctor Fort are all set to return and be available for selection for the clash against the Galician side. These reinforcements could significantly strengthen the team as they work to turn their form around.
