Lamine Yamal is a doubt for next weekend’s La Liga clash between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
FC Barcelona’s 1-0 home defeat to Leganes in the Championship put a damper on their title run, with just one goal difference separating them from the Rojiblancos.

A slump at home means the Catalans have won just one of their last six league games and their game against Atletico Madrid on December 21 is now vital.

Lamine Yamal decided to sit out against Leganes after picking up an ankle injury early in the game, but the risk didn’t pay off.
He was substituted in the 75th minute due to major concerns about his availability to play in Barcelona’s last game in 2024.

According to information from Mundo Deportivo, he will undergo tests within 24 hours to determine the extent of the problem, but the early signs are worrying.

He would have suffered a sprain, but even a slight one would have sidelined him and potentially derailed his start to the 2025 season.
