FC Barcelona has confirmed it. Lamine Yamal has sustained an injury to the biceps femoris muscle in his left leg, and the player will miss the rest of the season.
Barcelona has stated Yamal will undertake a conservative treatment plan, which indicates that the operation is no longer an option, and he should be fit to play again in time for the World Cup. That is the only good piece of news amidst a brutally bad update from Barcelona.
The tests carried out have confirmed that first-team player Lamine Yamal has a hamstring injury in his left leg (biceps femoris muscle).

For Flick and for the title race the timing could not be worse; crucial fixtures remain for Barcelona, with El Clasico taking place on May 10, which Yamal will miss. With Raphinha already out injured, they now lose both their game-winners for the final part of their domestic campaign.
The biceps femoris is part of a trio of muscles that form the hamstring group, and damage of that magnitude indicates a lengthy recuperation time. The club is clearly not taking any risks here, and doing so for a potential return from the injury for the World Cup. The World Cup is now less than 50 days away and therefore each and every day of his recovery period is important.
The season ends for the player with 15 goals and 11 assists in La Liga, including scoring the penalty last night against Celta Vigo, which ended up causing him to get injured. He has been the main man for Barcelona this season and everyone else now needs to stand up and help to finish what he started.
The league title is still within the grasp. It’s all about other players stepping up.
