It's important to remember that the right winger ended the match against Denmark (1-0) in the 3rd matchday of the 2024/25 Nations League with some physical discomfort. Lamine Yamal completed the full 90 minutes of that match, where opponents didn't hesitate to make him feel the physical pressure, and the discomfort became evident. Following the corresponding studies by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), a structural injury was ruled out, confirming it was a muscular fatigue overload, leading to his exclusion from the Spanish national team call-up and his absence for the match against Serbia.

Lamine Yamal, likely out against Sevilla, but... What about the clashes with Bayern and Real Madrid?

Despite this absence, there was a strong belief that the right winger had clear chances to face the Sevilla match. Why? Because there's still approximately a week until this encounter, enough time for him to rest and arrive in optimal condition to face the Sevillans.

Now, after this diagnosis, it will be necessary to see how long Lamine Yamal will be out for. Currently, his presence in the match against Sevilla seems difficult. Following that, his physical sensations will need to be assessed, considering high-profile matches ahead against stellar opponents like Bayern Munich at Montjuïc and Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.
