In La Liga Round 33 played early this morning, Barcelona beat Celta Vigo 1–0 at home and remain top of the table with a 9-point lead.

In this match, Lamine Yamal scored the only goal from a penalty. However, he got injured after scoring, fell to the ground, and could not continue, so he was substituted.

According to ESPN reporter Gemma Soler, there is no official diagnosis yet, but she has checked the situation. It looks like Yamal may have a hamstring tear and will have further tests tomorrow. If it is only a small tear, he may need 3 to 4 weeks to recover. This means he could miss El Clásico, but might return near the end of the season and be ready for the World Cup.

If the tear is more serious, he could miss the rest of the season, and even his participation at the start of the World Cup would be uncertain. The final result will depend on the medical tests tomorrow at the training center, after which the club will make an official announcement.

The reporter was behind the goal when the injury happened and saw it clearly. She noticed Yamal holding the back of his thigh, where the hamstring is.
