Lamine Yamal's Season Over but World Cup Hopes Intact After Hamstring Injury

Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a hamstring injury, but the club expects him to be fit for the World Cup. The 18-year-old limped off during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Celta Vigo after scoring the only goal from the penalty spot.

Tests confirmed a hamstring injury in his left leg, and Barcelona announced he will follow a conservative treatment plan. The victory moved Barcelona closer to retaining the La Liga title, with a nine-point lead over Real Madrid and six games remaining.

In other European action, Atlético Madrid lost 3-2 at Elche, their seventh defeat in eight matches, while Bayern Munich beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 to reach the German Cup final. Paris Saint-Germain defeated Nantes 3-0, and Lazio reached the Coppa Italia final after a penalty shootout win over Atalanta.
