The Spanish Football Federation announced this morning that Lamine Yamal has been summoned to the two concerts that the Spanish national team will play in the world rankings against Georgia, on Saturday, and in Türkiye, in the upcoming Mars tournament. The Barcelona player is suffering from pain due to his pubic injuries and continues to ease the treatment, which requires a few days of rest. In its statement, the Federation expressed its regret for being informed of the incident and accused Barcelona of acting in bad faith. Yamal had played the last few matches with his team as a starter, in the league and one in the Champions League in the past few days: against Elche, against Brojas, and against Celta, where he met him, who was substituted in the 88th minute.
The Spanish Federation’s statement read: “The medical services of the Spanish Football Federation would like to express their surprise and alarm after learning at 1:47 p.m. on November 10, the day on which the official concentration with the national team began, that the player Lamin Yamal underwent surgery using radiofrequency to treat his diseases in the pubic area this morning.”
The memo added: “This procedure was carried out without prior communication with the team’s medical team, and its details were only known through a report received at 22.40 in the afternoon, which indicated the medical recommendation for rest for a period of 7 to 10 days. In light of this situation, and with priority given to the player’s health, safety and well-being at all times, the Spanish Football Federation has taken the decision to exempt the athlete from this call.”
Lamine Yamal, who left to focus on Tonight with the Spanish group, was released from the competition after just one day. The Spanish Football Federation statement concluded: “We are confident that the matter can develop positively and we hope for a quick and complete recovery.”
In Barcelona, on the other hand, it is understood that from the club’s point of view, it is completely understandable and logical to deal with it when there are no parties, in this case decided by the national team’s parties. “It was missing that we were not able to treat our footballer,” indicate club sources, who did not provide further arguments as to why they were not informed before the treatment was carried out a few hours after traveling to Las Rozas. On the other hand, those around the blame are exhausted by the war between the club and the federation: “Compare the best player in the world and don’t care about him,” they lament.
The Spanish Federation has summoned Jorge de Frutos, a Rayo Vallecano winger, to replace the Barcelona defender.
