FC Barcelona has confirmed that forward Lamine Yamal will not be available for the upcoming match against Real Sociedad due to fitness issues. The 16-year-old winger sustained a severe contusion during the recent Champions League fixture, leading to his exclusion from the squad.
Yamal’s absence adds to Barcelona’s injury challenges this season. The club is currently without several key players, including Gavi, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear in November 2023, and Alejandro Balde, sidelined since January 2024 due to a biceps femoris tendon rupture.
Despite these setbacks, manager Hansi Flick remains optimistic about the team’s depth and resilience. Barcelona aims to maintain its competitive form in both domestic and international competitions during this period.
