A fresh concern has been raised over Lamin Yamal’s health as a trauma expert , Doctor Ripoll, explained that the footballer’s recently reported pubic pain has almost reduced his ability by 50%.
The issues around the Barcelona star’s health came to the fore again, after the latest El Clasico, which Barcelona lost to bitter rival Real Madrid.
Yamal’s performance in the encounter was criticsed, even with various statements, detailing footage of conflict at the end of the game involving Yamal.
The physical condition of Barcelona players dominated the post match discussions as questions were raised about Yamal’s competitive form and to what extent has his persistent pubic pain restricted him.
To address these two questions, the program El Larguero invited Dr. Ripoll, a special guest doctor, to interpret the severity of these two distinct injuries and their potential impact on the performance of Yamal at Barcelona and in the Spain national team.
Yamal began suffering from pubic pain a few weeks ago. Medically, this injury is defined as a pain symptom in the pubic and area, which is preventing him from performing at his best.
Dr. Rippol explained that although it is different from Carvajal’s injury – “it only causes pain and does not lead to joint damage”, it is still an injury that is “quite difficult to treat”.
“The characteristic of this type of pain is that it reduces the player’s mobility and shooting ability by nearly 50%, which is exactly what we saw in the El Clásico,” the trauma doctor said when talking about Yamal’s injury. “That is to say,” he further explained, “he hardly attempts to shoot, has difficulty moving, and frequently does stretching exercises…”
The doctor described this pain as “disabling” – it does not prevent players from taking the field, but it does keep them from being at their best and “significantly reduces athletic performance”.
