7 Jun
Summary
- Barcelona closely monitors Lamine Yamal's recovery with Spain.
- Yamal's return involves a phased approach with limited minutes initially.
- Player aims to start by Spain's third game, preparing for crucial matches.
Barcelona is maintaining a close watch on Lamine Yamal's recovery and injury status while he is with the Spanish national team. An external physiotherapist from Barcelona is embedded within the national team's medical staff, serving as a crucial link for updates. Yamal is nearing a return after crossing the initial six-week recovery window.
If no further setbacks occur, Yamal is expected to participate in Spain's World Cup opener against Cape Verde. This return is conditioned on a gradual, phased reintroduction to play. Barcelona has prescribed a limit of fifteen minutes for the first game.
Should his condition be positive, the plan allows for 45 to 60 minutes in the second game against Saudi Arabia. This phased strategy is designed to prevent any relapses and ensure Yamal is fully prepared for the tournament's critical stages.
The ultimate goal is for Yamal to be ready to start Spain's third match against Uruguay. As the tournament progresses, Spain's need for his full participation will increase, making this careful reintegration vital for his long-term performance and the team's success.
