Barcelona has released a new injury update indicating why Lamine Yamal will not be available for Spain’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Here is the latest injury update for Lamine Yamal and why the forward is expected to miss the 2026 World Cup qualifiers for Spain scheduled to be played in October 2025.
Barcelona have confirmed that young forward Lamine Yamal will be unavailable for their upcoming clash against Sevilla after suffering a recurrence of discomfort in his pubic area.
The 18 year old, who has been one of the standout performers for the Catalan side this season, experienced the issue once again following the UEFA Champions League fixture against Paris Saint Germain.
According to the Catalan giants, medical assessments carried out by the club’s staff have ruled him out of immediate action.
Barcelona have announced that Yamal is expected to be sidelined for a recovery period of two to three weeks.
This means he will miss the Sevilla encounter and potentially other key fixtures some of which are expected to be the 2026 World Cup qualifiers scheduled for October 2025, depending on his rehabilitation progress.
The setback comes at a critical time for the team, who continue to balance their domestic campaign with their European ambitions.
Yamal’s absence will be felt both in terms of creativity and attacking depth, given his influence on the right flank and his ability to unlock defenses.
The club remains optimistic about his return, with the medical team closely monitoring his recovery to ensure a full and stable comeback.
Supporters will be eager to see the teenager back in action as soon as possible, as he remains an integral part of Flick’s long term plans.
