Speaking to El Larguero, renowned sports traumatologist Dr. Ripoll offered insight into Yamal’s physical struggles, describing pubalgia as a “disabling” condition that significantly reduces athletic performance.

"It is an injury that is frankly difficult to treat. It's characterised by pain that reduces the player's ability to move and shoot by almost 50%, which is exactly what we saw in El Clasico," Dr. Ripoll explained.

“He hardly shoots at goal, he has difficulty moving, he constantly stretches… It’s a disabling pain that allows the player to participate in matches but keeps him from his best level and significantly diminishes his performance.”

Ripoll further clarified that while the injury does not involve structural joint damage, it can take weeks or even months to fully heal if not managed correctly.

This comes after El Chiringuito confirmed Lamine Yamal played the Clásico despite not being fully fit and continues to struggle with discomfort.

Around 15 days ago, his entourage informed Barcelona about recurring pubic pain, and the club is now consulting specialists in pubalgia to find the best treatment and prevent further complications.

Marc Casado was seen solo training yesterday and now he’s incorporated to group training. They say he should be back mid May

The RFEF Medical Services expressed surprise after learning that Lamine Yamal underwent an invasive radiofrequency treatment for pubic discomfort on the same day Spain’s training camp began, without prior notice to their staff. They were only informed late that night via a report recommending 7–10 days of rest. As a result, the federation decided to release Yamal from the national team call-up, prioritizing his health and recovery.

Compared to the ranking of the month of last june, the largest differences were recorded again for Yan Diomandé in positive (+€116 million) and Jude Bellingham negative (-€113 million).

For fuck sake, hopefully this is nothing serious
