"Lamine Yamal, who starred for Spain as they won the European Championship in his first major tournament two years ago, now faces a race against time to make the squad for World Cup 2026."
"Barcelona confirmed on Thursday that the teenager will miss the remaining six La Liga matches as they ease towards a 29th title, following his injury during the match against Celta Vigo."
"The suspected hamstring tear has not ruled Yamal out of contention for World Cup 2026, with reports indicating he is expected to recover in time to be called up by coach Luis de la Fuente."
Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old winger for Spain, is doubtful for World Cup 2026 due to a left hamstring injury sustained while playing for Barcelona. He scored the only goal in a recent La Liga match against Celta Vigo but limped off afterward. Barcelona confirmed he will miss the remaining league matches. Despite the injury, reports suggest he may recover in time for the World Cup. Yamal has already made 25 appearances for Spain and was instrumental in their European Championship victory in 2024.
