The club is monitoring 18-year-old forward Lamin Yamal’s groin injury, fearing it could become a long-term issue, though recovery is possible as seen in similar cases like Lionel Messi.
Idman.Biz, citing The Sun, reports that Barcelona is worried that Yamal’s groin injury this season may develop into a chronic problem.
Sources note that a similar injury affected former Barcelona star Lionel Messi at a younger age, but he was able to fully recover.
Earlier reports suggested that surgery might be considered if Yamal continues to experience discomfort.
This season, Yamal has played eight matches across all competitions, scoring three goals and providing five assists. His current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2031.
According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €200 million.
