A heart-in-the-mouth moment for all associated with Barcelona was forthcoming during the club’s meeting with Leganés this evening.

As much came upon youngster Lamine Yamal turning his ankle in nasty fashion in the turf, giving rise to immediate fears surrounding a potential injury.

Barcelona are of course currently locked in La Liga action, in a meeting with lowly Leganés.

Wide-man Lamine, for his part, was afforded a starting berth in the clash, from his customary berth on the right flank.

At one point during the opening 45 minutes, however, it appeared as though the 17-year-old would be forced into a premature departure from proceedings.

This came after Lamine pulled up with an ankle problem, which left him grounded and in evident distress.

The Spanish international ultimately managed to return to his feet to continue playing, but ensuing images of the incident showcase the fact that Lamine avoided what could have been a serious injury:
