Barcelona Faces Injury Crisis Amid Yamal's Absence

Barcelona's promising young winger, Lamine Yamal, will be out for two to three weeks due to a grade 1 high right ankle sprain, missing crucial UEFA Nations League matches for Spain against Denmark and Switzerland. His absence is a significant blow for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team, who are already dealing with an injury crisis that includes key players like Rodri and Dani Carvajal. Girona's Bryan Gil has been called up to replace Yamal in the Spanish squad. Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski is also sidelined for around 10 days with a back injury, missing Poland's Nations League matches. Despite these setbacks, Barcelona remains at the top of La Liga under new manager Hansi Flick, who faces the challenge of managing the team's depth amid multiple injuries. The club is prioritizing Yamal's recovery, signaling his importance to both their immediate and long-term plans.
