Although initial reports suggested he only experienced a strain, the club confirmed the injury after he returned to Barcelona and missed training on Monday.

The timeline for his recovery remains uncertain, but multiple sources indicate he may not be sidelined for long. However, he could be rested as a precaution for the upcoming match against Sevilla.

Catalunya Radio reports that a decision regarding his participation will be made on Friday, while Yamal focuses on recovery and reducing training intensity.

His absence would be a blow for Barcelona, particularly with key matches against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Espanyol on the horizon.
