Barcelona's Rush to Ready Yamal for Super Cup
Barcelona employs intensive therapy to expedite Lamine Yamal's recovery from an ankle injury, aiming for his participation in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals against Athletic Bilbao.
Barcelona is implementing an aggressive treatment plan to ensure Lamine Yamal is fit for the upcoming Spanish Super Cup. The young forward sustained a grade 1 ankle ligament injury during the match against Leganés, with an expected recovery time of 3 to 4 weeks. However, the club is determined to have him ready for the semifinals against Athletic Bilbao, scheduled between January 8 and 12 in Saudi Arabia.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Yamal has begun platelet-rich plasma therapy to accelerate healing. Additionally, he is wearing a specialized boot to immobilize and protect the injured ankle. This intensive approach, referred to as 'shock therapy,' underscores Barcelona's commitment to having Yamal available for the crucial fixture.
Despite medical advisories, Barcelona is keen on Yamal's participation, especially considering his significant contributions this season. His presence could be pivotal in the club's pursuit of the first trophy of the season.
