Lamine Yamal Sidelined for Barbastro Clash Due to Youth Copa del Rey Suspension
Lamine Yamal, the promising Barcelona winger, is set to miss the upcoming clash against Barbastro on Sunday, January 7. Toni Juanmarti reports that the 16-year-old is serving a suspension incurred back in January 2023 during a Youth Copa del Rey match against Malaga. Interestingly, the suspension rules apply uniformly to both youth and first-team players, leading to Yamal’s absence from the upcoming fixture.
This unfortunate turn of events denies the talented winger a potential starting role in the game, where his dynamic skills would have undoubtedly made an impact. Throughout the season, Yamal has showcased his abilities with one goal and four assists in 10 starts for Blaugrana.
As Barcelona navigates its January fixtures, the absence of Yamal will be felt, prompting discussions on the best XI to maximize attacking prowess in the upcoming matches.
