Barcelona handed timely injury boost ahead of Spanish Super Cup | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona have this weekend been afforded some altogether welcome positive news on the personnel front.

This comes amid confirmation that Lamine Yamal appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from injury.

Attacker Lamine was for his part condemned to a spell on the treatment table earlier this month, after suffering a sprained ankle en route to Barcelona’s shock La Liga defeat at the hands of Leganés.

At the time, a return timeline somewhere in the region of three to four weeks was set for the Spanish international.

Lamine’s participation at the upcoming Spanish Super Cup, set to be kicked into gear on January 8th, was in turn thrown firmly up in the air.

With the first piece of silverware of their side’s campaign up for grabs at the tournament, all of a Barca persuasion will in turn no doubt be delighted to hear that the club’s wing sensation looks set to be fit and raring to go in Saudi Arabia.

As per a report from Diario AS, following a fresh round of medical checks on Sunday:

‘The ankle is now completely stable and he will soon be able to start training on the pitch, with the priority objective of being recovered for the Spanish Super Cup.’
