Lamine Yamal out for season

Barcelona's title hopes suffered a blow as the club confirmed that Lamine Yamal sustained a muscle injury in his left leg.

The teenage forward was forced off during Wednesday's 1-0 victory, and subsequent tests revealed the severity of the damage.

While he will miss the final six games of the domestic season, medical staff are optimistic about his recovery timeline.

Spain's national team manager Luis de la Fuente remains hopeful that the wonderkid will lead the attack when the World Cup kicks off in North America.
