00:00This is everything we know about the Lamin-Yamal injury and what it could mean for his World Cup prospects.
00:05On Wednesday night, Yamal was subbed off in Barcelona's game against Celta Vigo.
00:08He had just converted a penalty to open the scoring when he pulled up and fell to the ground.
00:13The Barcelona medical staff came over to treat him on the field, but he was substituted immediately.
00:18Now, the full extent of the injury has not been confirmed by the club,
00:22but he appeared to be holding his hamstring, suggesting that it could be a torn muscle.
00:26So, what does that mean for recovery time?
00:28Depending on the seriousness of that injury, it could be anything from a few weeks to up to two months,
00:34which could be a major problem just 50 days out from the World Cup.
00:37But there is some reason for optimism.
00:40Yamal was able to walk off the field, not requiring a stretcher,
00:43suggesting that he might have escaped the more serious of those outcomes.
00:47Still, it's a big worry for Spain, who are relying on him as their biggest attacking talent.
00:51So, with less than two months to go into the World Cup,
00:53what would an injury for Lamin Yamal mean for Spain's chances of lifting the trophy?
00:58Let us know in the comments.
