Yamal Ruled Out of Barcelona Season but Set for World Cup with Spain

Lamine Yamal's season at Barcelona has been cut short by injury, but the 17-year-old winger is expected to be fit for the 2026 World Cup with Spain. The injury, which forced him off the pitch during a recent La Liga match, has been confirmed as a muscle tear that will require several weeks of recovery. Barcelona medical staff have ruled him out for the remainder of the league campaign, but Spain's national team doctors are optimistic about his availability for the tournament. Yamal, who has been a breakout star this season, will undergo a specialized rehabilitation program to ensure he is ready for international duty.
