Barcelona attacker Lamine Yamal will miss the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury in his left leg, but the Spain international is expected to be available for this year's World Cup, the La Liga side said on Thursday.

Yamal had limped off the pitch during Wednesday's 1-0 league win over Celta Vigo, where the 18-year-old scored the only goal from the penalty spot.

"The tests carried out have confirmed that first-team player Lamine Yamal has a hamstring injury in his left leg (biceps femoris muscle)," Barcelona posted on X.

"The player will follow a conservative treatment plan. Lamine Yamal will miss the remainder of the season, and he is expected to be available for the World Cup."
