La Liga giants Barcelona have early this week been dealt a potential setback on the personnel front. This comes amid confirmation that Lamine Yamal will play no part in Spain’s opening fixture of the international break.

Wide-man Lamine for his part featured from the off on Sunday night, as Barcelona locked horns with Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid in a crucial clash atop the La Liga table.

En route to an eventual 2-1 triumph for the Blaugrana at the Metropolitano, the 19-year-old played a starring role, laying on the assist for Fermín López’s winner.

As alluded to above, though, along the way, Lamine evidently suffered a fitness blow.

As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano, ahead of Spain’s upcoming double-header against Czechia and England:

‘Lamine Yamal will not be available for Spain against Czech Republic due to knee issues. Yamal will join up with the squad ahead of England match, recovering from knee discomfort.’
