The Athletic posted a report on Yamal's injury.
After Yamal's groin injury recurred, Barcelona said he expected to be out for up to three weeks.
But before the club issued a statement on Friday to confirm the latest injury, Spanish coach Dela Fuente released a large roster, which included Yamal. This is the latest scene of the tension between the club and the national team on player management issues, especially on Yamal's issue.
Barca sources were originally convinced that Yamal would not be included in the roster for the October match, and sports director Deco and Spanish national team director Caranca held a meeting last week to clarify the misunderstanding. Yamal was the main topic of discussion, and at the end of the talks, the club believed that the player would get a break.
Spanish media also reported that De La Fuente and Yamal had a telephone conversation on Thursday, during which the coach told the players that he planned not to call him on the team. That's why the Spanish roster caused shock inside Barcelona.
Multiple national team sources said Yamal was called up because he participated in two club games before the weekend, appearances against Real Sociedad and starts against Paris Saint-Germain. They thought it meant that he was in a physical condition and was therefore eligible to be selected. If the player experiences any physical discomfort afterwards, Barcelona must submit their status report to the Spanish Football Association medical team, which will make the final decision.
On Friday, Barcelona announced Yamal's repeated injuries. As of the end of the day, Spain confirmed that he had been exempted from the national team competition due to injury.
This is not new. A month ago, Yamal returned from the national team with his still unhealed groin injury when he returned, when Delafuente set up his start in both World Cup qualifiers against Bulgaria and Turkey in September. Frick was angry at how the opponent used the young player and even revealed that Yamal was able to play in the latter game with pain medication.
Barca and Spain must continue to work together to ensure that Yamal can fully recover from this injury. At present, Frick is unable to confirm whether Yamal can make a comeback in the national derby away against Real Madrid on October 26.
