Lamine Yamal: Barcelona star to miss rest of season with hamstring injury but 'expected to be available' for World Cup with Spain

Lamine Yamal will miss the rest of the domestic season due to a hamstring injury but is expected to be available for this summer's World Cup, according to a Barcelona statement.

The 18-year-old appeared to suffer the injury while scoring a penalty in Barcelona's 1-0 win over Celta Vigo in LaLiga on Wednesday.

Yamal limped off with the help of the club's medical staff and had to be substituted, raising fears that he could miss the World Cup with Spain before Barcelona put out a statement on Thursday.
