OFFICIAL: Barça announces Lamine Yamal’s muscle injury

The problems do not stop for FC Barcelona and Xavi Hernández. After confirming the knee injury of Jules Koundé on Monday, a few minutes later the Barcelona club announced a new physical problem of a player culé. The culés have detailed on this occasion that the tests carried out on Lamine Yamal have shown that the canterano has "an injury in the psoes ilia of the left leg. It is low and its evolution will mark its availability," says the official statement.

Although little known, psoes ilia is a key muscle for the correct work of the hip and both legs, allowing total movement in both cases and having severe pain in the case of partial, mild or total breakage. However, Barça has also reported that "the player joins the concentration of the Spanish team in which he will also be evaluated by the medical services of the RFEF", ditches the information.

No worries about Yamal?

It is certainly striking that the 16-year-old striker is confirmed to join the Spanish concentration after being diagnosed with a muscle problem, although it could also mean that there is not a problem too worrying. Although in the next hours or days the player could return to Barcelona if he is not in a position to play, his trip to the Ciudad Deportiva de la Roja suggests that his troubles would not be too relevant.

Without Raphinha, Lamine is being the starting right winger of Xavi, so that forcing a few minutes with Spain Barça risks losing for several weeks a determining player for the next matches. Although the Brazilian certainly keeps his road map to be in the Classic on October 28, it does not seem too wise that Lamine plays with Spain, It is true that with a couple of minutes in either of the two matches may be enough for the Red to 'block' him definitively as to which team will finally be international absolute.
