Barcelona attacker Lamine\u00a0Yamal\u00a0will miss the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury in\u00a0his\u00a0left leg, but the Spain international is expected to be available for this year’s World Cup, the La Liga side said on Thursday.
Yamal\u00a0had limped off the pitch during Wednesday’s\u00a01-0 league win over\u00a0Celta Vigo, where the 18-year-old scored the only goal from the penalty spot.
“The tests carried out have confirmed that first-team player Lamine\u00a0Yamal\u00a0has a hamstring injury in his left leg (biceps femoris muscle),” Barcelona posted on X.
“The player will follow a conservative treatment plan. Lamine\u00a0Yamal\u00a0will miss the remainder of the season, and he is expected to be available for the World Cup.”
Spain will kick off its World Cup campaign with a Group H game against Cape Verde on June 15.
Yamal, who has been sidelined with groin issues multiple times this season, leads Barcelona’s LaLiga scoring charts with 16 goals. He scored in his last three appearances for the club in all competitions.
He also provided three assists in his two appearances for Spain in the World Cup qualifiers last year.
“This injury is keeping me off the pitch just when I wanted to be there the most, and it hurts more than I can put into words,”\u00a0Yamal\u00a0wrote on his social media accounts.
“It hurts not to be able to fight alongside my teammates, not to be able to help when the team needs me… But I\u2019ll be there, even if it\u2019s from the sidelines, supporting, cheering and pushing them on just like one of the lads.
“This isn\u2019t the end, it\u2019s just a break. I\u2019ll come back stronger, more determined than ever, and next season will be better.”
