With the recent news of Lamine Yamal’s fresh ankle injury that will keep the 17-year-old out for several weeks, the question must be asked, should the club be more aggressive in protecting players (especially when young) from fatigue and the subsequent injuries that arise?
Yamal’s injury does not appear too severe, but the youngster will still miss a key game against Atletico Madrid, as well as a Copa del Rey tie and a Supercopa game against Athletic Club most likely.
Yet concerns have been raised already that it’s not a “typical” injury and may be more worrying than it appears.
