“It’s not the end, it’s just a break”: package for the end of the season with Barça, Lamine Yamal speaks

It’s just goodbye, as someone else would say. Lamine Yamal, the FC Barcelona winger who was seriously injured this weekend in a seemingly innocuous action, spoke this Thursday on social networks as his club announced that he will miss the end of the season.

The Spanish international, who suffers from an “injury to the biceps femoris of the left thigh”, is now beginning a race against time to be ready again for the 2026 World Cup. But until then, it is regrets that prevail, while the end of the season should see FC Barcelona crowned with a title of champion of Spain.

“This injury is preventing me from playing when I most wanted to, and it hurts more than I can express,” reacted the 18-year-old via his Instagram account. It hurts not being able to fight alongside my teammates, not being able to help the team when they need me. But I believe in them and I know they will give everything in every match. »

There are only six La Liga matches left to play for Barça, eliminated from the Champions League and 9 points ahead of Real Madrid in the La Liga standings. The title could therefore be assured to them from the 35th day, May 10… precisely against their runner-up and rival from Madrid.

“I will be there, even if it is from the outside, to support them, encourage them and push them like any other supporter,” continues Yamal. It’s not the end, it’s just a break. I will come back stronger, more motivated than ever, and next season will be better. »

FC Barcelona specified in its press release published this Thursday that it was “expected that Lamine Yamal would be available for the World Cup” in a month and a half. Spain will play its first match there on June 15 against Cape Verde, in Atlanta.
