Lamine Yamal
Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal remains sidelined as he continues to recover from discomfort in the pubic area, which has prevented him from joining full team training. The 17-year-old has been undergoing daily physiotherapy and light individual work, but club medics insist his return will depend on how his condition evolves.
Yamal has already been ruled out of the upcoming La Liga clash with Real Oviedo, and reports in Spain suggest he is unlikely to feature this weekend. However, Barcelona are cautiously optimistic he could make a limited return against Real Sociedad at Camp Nou, most likely as a substitute, if his recovery progresses without setbacks.
The club’s medical staff and coach Hansi Flick are prioritising caution, especially after the player aggravated the issue while on international duty with Spain earlier this month. Sources close to the team indicate that the Champions League showdown against Paris Saint-Germain on October 1 is being viewed as the more realistic target for Yamal’s full comeback.
Barcelona are determined to avoid rushing the teenager back into action to prevent long-term complications, and any reintroduction is expected to be gradual. Even if cleared, Yamal will likely return with reduced minutes before regaining his full starting role.
