Lamine Yamal’s groin injury is continuing to bother him, reports in Spain claim, and surgery could become a possibility to fix the problem.
The Barcelona star winger is suffering from an injury called “Pubalgia.” Conservative treatment has been Barça’s approach to the injury, but Yamal’s pain has persisted and he has been short of his electrifying best in recent outings.
As of right now, neither Barcelona nor Yamal believe he’ll have to go under the knife to fix the problem, report, even if the player remains far from fully healthy. Yamal will continue with his current treatment; however, if the pain continues in the coming weeks, having surgery to put an end to his nagging issue once and for all will be considered.
The Catalan giants have already had outside specialists assess Yamal’s injury to gauge other opinions on the player’s status it is claimed, but no indication has been given that the 18-year-old should undergo surgery and he’s continued to train as usual.
But it’s clear that the pain is having a negative effect on Yamal’s performances. He was nowhere to be found in Barcelona’s El Clásico defeat against Real Madrid at the weekend—except for being at the center of a scuffle after the final whistle—and his lingering injury appears to be a big reason why.
