It was a rough weekend for Barcelona, to say the least. Barça's first loss in more than a month, coming against Real Sociedad, was compounded by the injury news of one of its most important players: Lamine Yamal.
The Kopa Trophy Winner was left out of the squad against Real Sociedad and on Monday, Barcelona released a statement detailing the winger suffered a grade one right ankle syndesmosis injury during the UEFA Champions League game against Crvena zvezda.
There weren't any signs of concern midweek, as Yamal played the full 90 minutes in the 5–2 victory in Belgrade. However, it was surprising to see the teenager didn't even appear on the bench at the Anoeta.
"Over the last few days he has followed a course of treatment but the problem persists. The player is unavailable for selection and his recovery will dictate his return," the statement read.
Yamal has started 15 of Barça's 17 games this season. Both of Barcelona's La Liga losses of the season have come when Yamal's been absent from the starting lineup.
