Gavi and Barcelona dressing room on Lamine Yamal injury – ‘He was pissed off’

Barcelona fans, players and coaching staff alike are nervously awaiting a decisive diagnosis on Lamine Yamal’s injury, after he exited the pitch against Celta Vigo on Wednesday night. The 18-year-old pulled up immediately after firing a penalty into the corner in the first half, and limped to the dressing room just before half-time.

The Blaugrana went on to beat Celta Vigo, but were far from impressive when holding onto their 1-0 lead. After the match, Lamine Yamal’s injury was the major talking point. Gavi told MD after the match that Lamine Yamal was enormously frustrated after the injury.

“He’s the best, and of course it’s a tough blow for us because he’s a very important player and we need him. He was pissed off in the dressing room because he understands how important he is to us. I don’t know how long he’ll be out, but I hope it’s as short a time as possible because we need him.”
