Barcelona Take Cautious Approach with Lamine Yamal’s Ankle Injury Following Frenkie de Jong Example
Barcelona are prioritizing caution as they manage Lamine Yamal’s recovery from an ankle injury sustained during their 1-0 defeat to Leganes. The 17-year-old was substituted in the 75th minute but is now expected to miss 3-4 weeks, casting doubt on his availability for the Spanish Super Cup.
The club’s decision to take extra precautions stems from lessons learned with Frenkie de Jong earlier this year. De Jong suffered a similar ankle injury in April, initially expected to sideline him for 4-5 weeks. However, complications from recurring ankle issues extended his recovery to over five months. Barcelona are determined to avoid a repeat scenario with Yamal, especially given his pivotal role and young age.
Barcelona’s medical team will focus on ensuring a full recovery for Yamal, prioritizing his long-term fitness. Fans eagerly await his return but recognize the importance of safeguarding the rising star’s future.
