Shock in Barcelona Mysterious Absence of Lamine Yamal Before the Grudge Derby

Khaberni - The Catalan newspaper "Sport" has dropped a bombshell after star Lamine Yamal left the Barcelona training grounds on Thursday abruptly before the start of the first training session in 2026.

Although there has been no official statement, club sources have reassured fans that the absence is "not serious," but it still raises concerns just 48 hours before the anticipated match against Espanyol.

This absence comes at a time when the newspaper "As" has highlighted an "old score" awaiting Yamal in the "derby" against Espanyol's coach, Manuelo Gonzalez, who previously accused him of "diving".

While Yamal aims to respond on the field and cement his status as a nominee for the Puskás Award 2025, everyone is anticipating his physical readiness to lead the Blaugrana's attack in "Cornellà" and afterwards heading to Saudi Arabia to play in the Spanish Super Cup.
