OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 6/15/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Yamal featured in 35 La Liga matches last season, scoring nine goals and contributing 13 assists at just 17 years old. He broke records with decisive contributions in both the league and Champions League. His development has been rapid, and his final-third quality is already elite, creating 64 chances and delivering 108 crosses in La Liga, mostly from open play to set up high-quality chances for his striker. Heading into 2025/26, Yamal is expected to be a central creative force once again and the primary leader of the Catalans' frontline. If he continues his upward trajectory, he could be in the range for 30 goal contributions, and be a serious contender for future Ballon d'Or honors.
Season over with hamstring injury
Yamal (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a biceps femoris injury in his left leg and will miss the remainder of the season, though he is expected to be available for the World Cup in June, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Yamal's absence is a significant blow for the Blaugranas as they push through the final stretch of the season, with the teenager having been one of their most dynamic attacking forces this campaign. The club confirmed he will follow a conservative treatment plan, with the priority clearly set on having him fit for Spain's World Cup campaign rather than rushing him back for domestic fixtures. Roony Bardghji, Fermin and Marcus Rashford are among the options who could see increased minutes on the wing in his absence, with Raphinha also sidelined with a hamstring issue. The simultaneous absence of both wide attackers places considerable pressure on Barcelona's attacking depth heading into the final weeks of the season. Yamal finished the La Liga season with 16 goals and 11 assists, establishing himself as his team's primary attacking threat.
