Lamine Yamal Injury Sparks World Cup Concern After Barcelona Hamstring Blow

Posted : 23 April 2026

Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal has suffered a suspected hamstring injury during his side’s LaLiga victory over Celta Vigo, raising major concerns for both club and country ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The 18-year-old scored the decisive penalty in the first half but immediately showed signs of discomfort after finding the net.

Moments after scoring, Yamal went to ground holding his left hamstring and was forced to leave the pitch, unable to continue. Early reports from club sources suggest a possible tear, although the full extent of the injury will only be confirmed after medical scans.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick admitted there is concern over the situation but said the club must wait for a full diagnosis before determining how long the forward could be sidelined. Teammate Pedri expressed hope that the injury would not keep Yamal out for long, describing him as an important part of both Barcelona and Spain’s plans.

Yamal has been in outstanding form this season, scoring regularly and playing a key role in Barcelona’s strong league campaign. Despite his injury setback, Barcelona remain firmly on course for the LaLiga title, holding a comfortable lead over their closest rivals.

However, the bigger concern is Spain’s preparation for the upcoming World Cup in North America. Yamal, who played a key role in Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph, is considered one of the team’s most important attacking players. Any lengthy absence would be a significant blow to their tournament hopes.

Medical assessments over the coming days will determine the severity of the injury and whether Yamal will be fit in time for the summer competition.
