Barcelona beat Celta de Vigo 1-0 at the Spotify Camp Nou thanks to Lamine Yamal’s penalty, but they lost their young forward for the rest of the season.
As announced by the club in his medical report, Lamine has injured the biceps femoris in his left leg and will not be able to contribute to defending his lead in La Liga, and will also miss the clash with Real Madrid. After hearing the news, his father, Munir Nasrawi, prayed for him.
Nasrawi seeks blessings for son
Lamine Yamal’s injury was a huge blow not only to Bala, but also to those closest to him. Fathers, in particular, reacted with a mixture of anguish and faith in the face of the difficult times their sons were going through.
Before Yamal’s diagnosis was revealed, Nasraoui shared a message filled with emotion and faith on his Instagram account.
“God bless you, LY,” he wrote, along with an emoji of a heart and a hand forming another red heart.
Along with these words, Munir also shared three photos of him sitting on the floor with his hands raised to cover his face and his back to a mural depicting the couple.
This is not the first time Yamal’s father has spoken out publicly about situations affecting athletes, and although comments on the post are restricted, it garnered thousands of likes and words of support for Ramin.
Messages included: “The best player will be back soon. We are all with him. He will come back even stronger for the World Cup,” “He will come back even stronger. Bisca Lamine!” and “He will be back soon.”
The 18-year-old player expressed through his official Instagram account his regret and sadness at not being able to join the team during a crucial period of the season, but also emphasized his faith in his teammates to achieve the ultimate goal of a new title. He also took this opportunity to thank the fans for their support and promised to stay by his teammates and support them as a fan.
“This is not the end. It’s just a break. We’ll come back stronger and more enthusiastic than ever. Next season will be even better. Thank you for the message and Vizca El Bala,” he wrote.
As a result, in Lamine’s absence, Vara will have to play the next six games without their star player, including the Clasico against Real Madrid scheduled for May 10th at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Fortunately, the young player should be fit to represent Spain at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This means Luis de la Fuente could add him to the roster.
Spain was placed in Group H with Uruguay, Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde. The season opener will be played against Cape Verde on June 15th at 12pm ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. They will face Saudi Arabia at 12pm ET on the 21st at the same venue. Finally, on the 26th, they will face Uruguay at 8pm ET at Akron Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico.
