Yamal increases rehabilitation pace in preparation for the World Cup

Lamine Yamal has accelerated his rehabilitation programme as he works toward full fitness for the World Cup, following steady progress in recovering from a biceps femoris tear in his left leg. According to Mundo Deportivo, the 18‑year‑old has begun gym sessions at Barcelona’s facilities and even reported to the Joan Gamper Sports City on Tuesday, despite the squad being given the day off, to continue his personalised treatment plan.

Yamal will miss the remainder of Barcelona’s season, with club and federation medical teams coordinating closely to ensure his recovery advances without setbacks, aiming for him to be fully ready by the end of the group stage. Spain open their campaign against Cape Verde on 15 June before facing Saudi Arabia on 21 June, matches in which the youngster may be managed carefully. Two weeks after the injury, updates remain positive, and Yamal has shared encouraging messages about his chances of featuring at the tournament.
