Lamine Yamal, Barcelona's standout 18-year-old forward, will sit out the rest of the club's season following a leg injury but should be fit to represent Spain at the World Cup, the team announced on Thursday.
The injury occurred during Barcelona's 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo, when Yamal scored the decisive penalty, sustaining the muscle injury in his left leg. Despite this setback, doctors predict his readiness for the World Cup, where he is set to make his debut as Spain's campaign begins against Cape Verde on June 15 in Atlanta.
