Lamine Yamal will miss the rest of Barcelona’s season with a hamstring injury but is expected to be available for Spain at the World Cup, his club said on Thursday. The 18-year-old limped off during Wednesday’s 1-0 league win over Celta Vigo after scoring the only goal from the penalty spot.“The tests carried out have confirmed that first-team player Lamine Yamal has a hamstring injury in his left leg (biceps femoris muscle),” Barcelona posted on X. “The player will follow a conservative treatment plan. Lamine Yamal will miss the remainder of the season, and he is expected to be available for the World Cup.“Victory over Celta moved Barcelona closer to retaining the La Liga title. With six games remaining, they lead the standings on 82 points, nine clear of Real Madrid. Barcelona went ahead in the 38th minute when Lamine Yamal burst in from the right and was brought down by Yoel Lago. The teenager dusted himself down and dispatched the resulting spot-kick with a fierce low strike to the goalkeeper’s left.
