The novel treatment that Lamine Yamal is following to accelerate his recovery

The FC Barcelona recently received quite a disheartening news regarding their young star, Lamine Yamal. The 17-year-old right winger, after undergoing the relevant medical tests, was diagnosed with a grade 1 injury to the anterior tibiofibular ligament of his right ankle, with an estimated recovery time of three to four weeks.

The Spanish-Moroccan player, who suffered this physical setback during the 17th round of LaLiga EA Sports against CD Leganés, faces a recovery period that will likely prevent him from returning to the pitch with the Barça shirt until mid-January. This situation represents a tough blow for Barcelona, losing one of their stars at a crucial point in the season.

The absence of '19', a tough blow for Barcelona

Lamine Yamal, recognized as a true talisman for Barcelona's victories (as statistics affirm), will not be able to participate in the upcoming match scheduled for Saturday at 9:00 PM against Atlético de Madrid. His absence is particularly felt at this crucial moment in the team's race for the top spot in LaLiga EA Sports. Additionally, he will miss the start of Barça's participation in the 2024-25 Copa del Rey against UD Barbastro on January 4.

It is also expected that he will not be able to participate in the fight for the first title of the season, the Spanish Super Cup, which will take place from January 8 to 12 in Saudi Arabia. Despite this, Barcelona will do everything possible to have Lamine Yamal available for the Spanish Super Cup, which includes matches against Athletic Club on January 8 and, in the case of progressing to a hypothetical final, against Real Madrid or RCD Mallorca on January 12, although his recovery may be too tight.

The innovative treatment that Lamine Yamal is reportedly undergoing to accelerate his recovery time

As recently reported by 'Mundo Deportivo', to expedite the recovery of Lamine Yamal, a treatment with growth factors in his right ankle has been initiated. This treatment involves the use of platelet-rich plasma, which can aid in his swift recovery. Additionally, the Barça '19' is using a special boot to immobilize and protect his ankle.

It will now be crucial to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment and determine if Lamine Yamal will be available for Barcelona in their first major appointment of the season. However, it is clear that the Barça team will not compromise the health of their star and will make decisions based on the player's sensations.

It should be noted that Lamine Yamal is facing an injury whose complexity was explained by Dr. Ripoll in an interview with 'El Larguero' on Cadena Ser, stating: "It is not a common sprain, it is a much more specific injury, a slight tear in the membrane that connects the tibia with the fibula, known as syndesmosis. The prognosis is much more uncertain," affirmed the doctor. He also recommended that the blue and scarlet 'jewel' heal "completely and without any rush," a point that the Barça club seems to have very clear.
