Lamine Yamal will miss the rest of Barcelona’s season with a hamstring injury but is expected to be available for Spain at the World Cup, his club said on Thursday.

The 18-year-old limped off during Wednesday’s 1-0 league win over Celta Vigo after scoring the only goal from the penalty spot.

“The tests carried out have confirmed that first-team player Lamine Yamal has a hamstring injury in his left leg (biceps femoris muscle),” Barcelona posted on X. “The player will follow a conservative treatment plan.

Lamine Yamal will miss the remainder of the season, and he is expected to be available for the World Cup.“
