Rabat – FC Barcelona are keeping a close eye on Lamine Yamal, after concerns about pubalgia. To ensure his recovery is on track, the club consulted a Belgian doctor with extensive experience in treating this type of injury.
The specialist, who has managed more than 3,000 cases in football and basketball, was contacted through Dr. Ricard Pruna, head of Barcelona’s first‑team medical department.
Pruna is supervising the 18-year-old’s treatment and wanted an external evaluation to confirm the club’s plan.
Yamal first felt discomfort in September 2025 while playing for Spain. The pain was initially treated with injections before being diagnosed as pubalgia. Since then, Barcelona have worked to treat the injury and reduce risks.
Club sources say there is no major concern. Yamal has continued to perform well in recent matches, despite a difficult game at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The Belgian doctor’s report was positive, confirming that the player is in good condition and that the current treatment and physiotherapy program are appropriate.
The specialist noted that early detection is important in handling pubalgia. Because Yamal’s case was identified quickly, the chance of complications is lower. But still, he must follow medical and fitness guidelines closely to avoid the problem from returning.
Head coach Hansi Flick praised Yamal’s discipline: “Lamine has changed his discipline; he’s better now. He’s working very hard, both on the pitch and in the gym, and that’s very important for this type of injury.”
Barcelona remains confident that Yamal will continue to progress and keep performing at the top level, and ultimately help Barcelona win trophies.
