Lamine Yamal and Barcelona make surgery decision amid fitness concerns
"Lamine Yamal's fitness is once again in the spotlight, with the Barcelona star continuing to struggle with pubalgia. The teenager is said to be worried about his injury which a medical expert has claimed "reduces the player's ability to move and shoot by almost 50%." According to Diario Sport, Yamal has pondered the possibility of undergoing surgery but is not contemplating having an operation at this point. The report adds that if he continues to feel discomfort over the next few weeks then he may reconsider his stance."
"Yamal's injury does appear to be a tricky one for footballers. Former Barcelona physio Miquel Àngel Cos has told Sport that "pubalgia is not treated, it is managed" and also explained "with absolute rest you don't improve, quite the opposite." Lionel Messi has also revealed previously he couldn't always train due to the problem which "can't be solved overnight.""
Lamine Yamal continues to struggle with pubalgia and is worried about the injury's impact on his performance. A medical expert said the condition reduces the player's ability to move and shoot by almost 50%. Yamal has considered surgery but is not planning an operation at present. He may reconsider if discomfort persists over the next few weeks. Former Barcelona physio Miquel Àngel Cos stated pubalgia is managed rather than cured and warned that absolute rest can worsen the condition. Lionel Messi previously reported that pubalgia prevented consistent training and cannot be solved overnight. Yamal is still training but not at maximum intensity as the club manages his condition.
