Lamine Yamal update: Spain star returns to grass & gym training following hamstring injury

The forward was expected to be out for a significant period.

For the Spanish national squad, there is good news. By resuming grass training at FC Barcelona’s facilities, Lamine Yamal has made significant progress in his recuperation and raised expectations that he will be totally ready for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

After sustaining a muscle injury in April, the young star had raised concerns. But his development is now inspiring hope at the club and national team levels.

Yamal has moved past the first stage of his recuperation, which was centred on gym work, and has reportedly begun individual training sessions on the field.

On April 22, the winger sustained a partial biceps femoris rupture in his left leg; as a result, Barcelona decided to treat him conservatively rather than surgically. His return to the grass is a huge encouraging sign, even though he is not anticipated to play again this season.

Yamal is still a key component of Spain’s plans, according to head coach Luis de la Fuente, as long as he receives the necessary medical clearance in time for the competition.

The management is focused on making sure Lamine Yamal reaches peak condition for the later phases of the competition rather than hurrying his comeback. De la Fuente recognises the influence a player of his calibre can have in pivotal games.

In the upcoming weeks, Lamine Yamal will continue his recuperation under careful medical monitoring with the specific goal of being prepared for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

For the time being, his return to the field is more than simply a physical achievement; it suggests that Spain may be able to reclaim one of its most potent weapons at a crucial juncture.
