Dutch legend Ruud Gullit has shared his views on Lamine Yamal and admits he’s worried the teenager could end up picking up an injury.
Yamal has managed to shrug off the pubalgia issues that affected him earlier this season to go on and play an inspirational role for Barcelona again.
The teenager has already played 44 times in all competitions this season, and Gullit fears Barca’s reliance on their young star could lead to him picking up a problem.
“The only thing is, the team depends on him a lot. And
he’s a very young player. I’m really worried he’ll get injured because they use him all the time,“ he told AS.
“And they say, ‘Yes, but he’s young.’ But you saw it with Pedri, with Gavi. They have to play in a World Cup. Then you go to play in a World Cup with the youngsters and then you get injured. And coming back from an injury is tough. So I hope it doesn’t happen again. Therefore, I love what he does.”
Yamal and Barcelona have just seven games left to play this season. The teenager will then head off to the World Cup with Luis de la Fuente’s Spain squad.
