Flick Confident Lamine Yamal Will Be Ready for 2026 World Cup Despite Injury

Lamine Yamal suffered a hamstring injury in Barcelona’s win over Celta Vigo and will miss the rest of the season. Despite this setback, Barcelona remain hopeful he will recover in time for Spain’s World Cup campaign. Manager Hansi Flick said the club is closely coordinating with La Roja’s medical staff on the teenager’s rehabilitation. Flick insists Yamal still has enough time to regain fitness and earn his spot in the 2026 squad. With the tournament kicking off in June 2026, Yamal has several months to complete his recovery and return to full form. If all goes well, the Barcelona prodigy could play a starring role on football’s biggest stage.
