Lamine Yamal scored the only goal (from the penalty spot) at Camp Nou on the morning of April 23rd, ensuring Barca maintained their 9-point lead over rivals Real Madrid, who won 2-1 against Alaves in the earlier match of round 32.

However, the joy of Hansi Flick and his team was not complete, with the bad news of Lamine Yamal's injury.

The 18-year-old star had to leave the field at the end of the first half, and according to news from COPE, Lamine Yamal suffered a fairly serious hamstring injury in his left leg.

Today, the Barca medical team will conduct tests to determine the exact extent of Yamal's injury. However, according to several Barcelona newspapers, Barca's hope will be sidelined for approximately five weeks. This means Lamine Yamal will miss the remainder of the season.

Yamal's injury at this time is not only a major blow for Barca, but also for the Spanish national team, with only 50 days left until the 2026 World Cup.

Coach Hansi Flick said after Barca's 1-0 win against Celta Vigo: " It's unfortunate, but we know what we have to do. Lamine Yamal is very important to Barca."

We will wait for a thorough diagnosis from the Barca medical team regarding his injury to know the exact situation .”

In this year's campaign, Barca only have La Liga left and are on track to win their second consecutive title under Hansi Flick. They have been eliminated by Atletico in both the Copa del Rey (semi-finals) and the Champions League (quarter-finals).

Teammate Gavi expressed extreme disappointment with Lamine Yamal's bad luck, especially considering that Barca had already lost Raphinha for the same reason.

“ It’s a huge shock for us. Lamine Yamal is an incredibly important player for Barca. It’s terrible. I hope the damage will be as minimal as possible.”

I don't know how long Yamal will be out, but I just hope it's as short as possible, because we really need him ."
