Barcelona have been handed a fresh update on young superstar Lamine Yamal, who suffered an ankle injury and has been out of contention. The 17-year-old winger picked up a knock in the ankle in early November, which saw him miss three games, as he spent the month on the sidelines.
He returned to the pitch and played four La Liga games, before picking up another ankle injury in mid-December. He has been out of contention ever since, missing out on their 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid at the Lluis Companys on December 21.
Barcelona, like other clubs in La Liga, are currently enjoying their mid-season break, amidst the festive period. This has given Lamine Yamal time to work towards recovery, and the club have been handed a positive update in response. According to Spanish journalist Javi Miguel (via BarcaTimes on X), the 17-year-old's ankle is "now fully stable."
