17-year-old was ultimately sidelined. The club’s medical team estimated a recovery period of two to three weeks, but optimism around his return has faded.
Yamal’s Absence Felt
Barcelona’s performances without Yamal highlight his importance to the team. The Blaugrana have lost both away matches in which the teenager didn’t start this season—against Osasuna and Real Sociedad.
At just 17, Yamal has already established himself as a key player. With six goals and eight assists across all competitions, he is Barcelona’s third-highest scorer and ranks second in assists, trailing only Raphinha, who leads the team with 22 combined goal contributions.
Key Players Returning
While Yamal’s absence is a blow, Robert Lewandowski’s return boosts Barcelona’s firepower. The Polish striker, currently La Liga’s top scorer with 14 goals, has been pivotal for the team. His 21 goal contributions this season underline his influence alongside Raphinha and Yamal.
Maintaining Momentum
Barcelona sit atop La Liga, six points clear of Real Madrid, but Yamal’s absence could test their depth as they aim to maintain their lead. All eyes will be on the squad’s ability to adapt when they face Celta de Vigo this weekend.
