FC Barcelona has confirmed the injuries of Jules Koundé and Lamine Yamal in the last League match against Granada. The French footballer suffers a sprain to the internal lateral ligament in his left knee, as reported this morning by the club's medical services. The player was injured yesterday in Granada in a chance fall with Gavi and, pending the extent of this sprain, he could be out of action for around a month. For his part, Lamine Yamal suffers an injury to the iliopsoas in his left leg.
Just before half-time, Koundé had to be substituted after an action in which his teammate Gavi fell on his knee. As soon as the match ended, in which Barça was on the verge of a comeback against Granada, Xavi Hernández assured that it was nothing serious, but that today he would undergo more tests.
This morning, the player underwent more medical checks this morning that confirmed this sprain, which is why he was also unable to attend the French team's call for this international break. Without knowing the exact extent, the Catalan team will almost certainly lose one of its key pieces for the classic against Real Madrid on October 28.
In addition to Koundé, Barça has also reported that Lamine Yamal, who also had to leave the game in Granada due to discomfort, suffers an injury to the iliac psoas in his left leg, as reported this Monday by the Catalan club's medical services.
Despite this illness, the youth player has joined the Spanish team's training camp, "in which he will also be evaluated by the RFEF medical services," Barcelona said. At 16 years old, Lamine Yamal has participated in all eleven Barça games this season, breaking all records for precocity. The last of them, this Sunday at the Nuevo Los Cármenes, where he became the youngest scorer in LaLiga history by scoring the equalizer against Granada (2-2).
They are not the only casualties for Xavi Hernández's team, which cannot count on Lewandowski either, injured in Porto; De Jong, against Celta; Raphinha, with a fibrillar tear against Sevilla; nor Pedri, who has been injured since August with a muscle tear.
