Flick urgently speaks out about Yamal's injury, Barcelona fears losing the entire season.

Barcelona's joy of victory was quickly overshadowed when Lamine Yamal collapsed on the field, causing Hansi Flick and the coaching staff to fall into a state of deep anxiety.

Information regarding Lamine Yamal's injury is becoming the focal point at Barcelona, as this young talent encountered an issue immediately after scoring in the 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo in La Liga. The incident has left the coaching staff and fans unavoidably concerned.

According to local media, Yamal is suspected to have a grade 3 hamstring injury in his left leg, potentially sidelined for up to 5 weeks, even missing the remainder of the season. However, Coach Hansi Flick appeared cautious and has not confirmed the specific severity, emphasizing the need to await the official conclusion from the medical team.

“Regarding Yamal's injury. We will wait until tomorrow. Then there will be a clear diagnosis and we will assess the situation,” Flick stated. “It is unfortunate, but we must accept it. Lamine is very important to us, as is Joao Cancelo.” This statement indicates Barcelona has not yet made a final assessment, but the potential severity cannot be underestimated.

Earlier, in the 40th minute of the match against Celta Vigo, Yamal earned a penalty himself and successfully converted it to open the scoring. However, immediately after that shining moment, the 18-year-old player suddenly signaled to the bench and then collapsed on the field in a surprising manner. The medical team quickly intervened, but he could only leave the field with a limping gait.

According to AS, Yamal's injury could be a muscle tear and carries the risk of affecting his ability to participate in the 2026 World Cup with the Spanish national team. The cause is believed to stem from a collision with defender Yoel Lago in the situation that led to the penalty.

Not only Barcelona, Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente is certainly also “restless,” as Yamal is a key element in the long-term plan. In that context, Flick's cautious attitude further highlights the potential seriousness of this injury.

Currently, Yamal along with João Cancelo are almost certain to be absent in the weekend match against Getafe. With an impressive performance of 24 goals and 18 assists in 45 matches this season, Yamal's absence will be a significant loss, and Barcelona can only await the final conclusion as Flick emphasized.
