Overview
- Barcelona, which released test results Thursday, said the 18-year-old has a left biceps femoris hamstring injury and will follow a conservative rehab plan.
- The winger was hurt Wednesday while converting a 40th‑minute penalty against Celta Vigo and left before half-time after clutching his left hamstring.
- His absence rules him out of the May 10 El Clásico against Real Madrid, though Barcelona still hold a nine-point LaLiga lead with six games left.
- Spain expect him for the World Cup, yet recovery times for hamstring tears vary and sports doctors warn of relapse risk near 30 percent, leaving his match fitness in doubt for late‑May camp.
- Coach Hansi Flick urged patience after the match and teammate Pedri wished him a quick recovery, while Joao Cancelo also exited Wednesday’s game injured.
