One of FC Barcelona's biggest stars is Lamine Yamal, and one of the concerns for club football fans is the international break. Yamal was called up for the Spanish national team as they play two World Cup qualifiers this week.
Yamal started for Spain in the match against Bulgaria but did not play the whole game. He was subbed off in the 79th minute, but some fans noticed the player was slightly concerned about his lower back.
Barcelona fans were concerned that one of their best players could have suffered an injury. After Spain's 3-0 win over Bulgaria, Javier Herraez from Cadena Ser reported that Yamal finished the match against Bulgaria with some back discomfort.
The reporter mentions that Yamal was carrying some discomfort since the match against Rayo Vallecano and felt something in his back.
Lamine Yamal Expected to be Ready for Türkiye Match
Spain's next World Cup qualifier is against Türkiye at the Medaş Konya Büyükşehir Stadyumu in Konya, Türkiye. According to Cadena Ser, Yamal's discomfort does not seem serious and is expected to be given the green light to play in Spain's next match.
Yamal is set to get some rest tomorrow and is expected to be available for the match against Türkiye.
Spain head coach, Luis de la Fuente, mentioned after the match that no player suffered an injury, which also calms Spain and Barcelona fans.
Luis de la Fuente: "We're all healthy. Thankfully, we didn't suffer any injuries in tonight's match."
Spain starts their World Cup qualifiers with three points and first place in their Group. Türkiye is second after their 3-2 win over Georgia.
There are five games left for each team in this group, and the team that finishes first qualifies directly for the 2026 World Cup.
