Spain just got a big boost ahead of the World Cup. Lamine Yamal, the teenage wonder from Barcelona, has started training on grass again.
The 17-year-old has been out with an injury that worried both his club and his country. But now, he is back on the field at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper doing light work under close watch. 👀
Do not get too excited yet. He is not fully ready. He is combining gym sessions with controlled training on grass. The club is being very careful with him. No rushing. No risks. 🛑
Why? Because Barcelona knows what really matters to Yamal right now — the World Cup. The young forward has made it clear he does not want to miss the tournament. And the club agrees. So they are holding him back from club matches to make sure he is fully fit for Spain. 🇪🇸🏆
Doctors said his recovery would take between six to eight weeks. That timeline puts him very close to the World Cup. Maybe even during it. But Spain’s coach, Luis de la Fuente, believes he will be ready. He has seen this before Dani Olmo pulled off a similar comeback during Euro 2024. 💪
So while Yamal is not back yet, this is the first real sign that he could make it. And for Spain fans, that is more than enough to smile about. 😊⚽
