Barcelona have reportedly been handed a boost after fresh tests on Lamine Yamal’s ankle injury suffered against Leganes.
There have been concerns raised that the injury may be more severe than first thought, but Barcelona are optimistic that it is just a simple sprain.
Diario AS are reporting that tests revealed that the injury has not affected the external lateral ligament of the ankle and Yamal “only has a part of the membrane that covers the fibula and tibia affected.”
The upshot is that this makes “rehabilitation work and the time off much easier” and Yamal will hopefully return as originally scheduled.
