Barcelona's Lamine Yamal set to miss 3-4 weeks due to ankle injury

Barcelona's young winger, Lamine Yamal, suffered an ankle injury during their 1-0 loss against Leganes on Sunday. He is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks.
"Tests carried out this morning revealed a grade 1 injury to a ligament in the ankle," Barcelona stated on Monday.
The club anticipates Yamal's recovery will take up to four weeks. This unfortunate injury will rule him out of Barcelona's final match of the year against Atletico Madrid this Saturday.
Barcelona's upcoming schedule includes a Copa del Rey match against Barbastro on January 4th. Following that, they will travel to Jeddah for the Spanish Super Cup, a four-team tournament.
Yamal, 17, sustained the ankle injury during a first-half challenge in the Leganes game. Despite experiencing pain, he remained on the field until being substituted in the 75th minute.
Barcelona currently lead La Liga, although their recent form has been less impressive. They've managed only one victory in their last six league matches.
This dip in form has allowed Atletico Madrid to catch up in the standings. Both teams are now level on points, with Atletico having played one less game.
Real Madrid are just one point behind the leading duo. They also have a game in hand on Barcelona, adding further pressure to the title race.
