Barcelona FC Thursday confirmed that striker Lamine Yamal has suffered a hamstring injury in his left leg.
The 18-year-old sustained the injury during Wednesday’s 1–0 victory over Celta Vigo.
“The player will follow a conservative treatment plan. He will miss the remainder of the league season but is expected to be available for the World Cup,” said a club statement.
Yamal had scored from the penalty spot for Barcelona in the 40th minute but then immediately signaled to the bench before falling to the ground, clutching his left hamstring.
He was helped off the pitch by medical staff and headed straight down the tunnel.
Barcelona, the reigning La Liga champions, are top of the table and nine points clear of rivals Real Madrid, who they play at home on May 10 as one of their remaining six games.
Spain begin their World Cup campaign in Group H against Cape Verde on 15 June, before facing Saudi Arabia on 21 June and Uruguay on 27 June.
