The entire soccer world is holding its collective breath after reports claim a hamstring tear could keep Barcelona star Lamine Yamal out of the 2026 World Cup.
Yamal was forced to exit the pitch after scoring the lone goal in Barcelona’s 1–0 win over Celta Vigo on Wednesday night. The teenager converted the penalty he created, but instantly signaled to the bench that something was wrong and fell to the ground without celebrating the goal. He was forced to gingerly exit the pitch before halftime.
