In a major setback for FC Barcelona, teenage sensation Lamine Yamal will be sidelined for crucial upcoming matches due to injury. The wonderkid is set to miss their highly anticipated Champions League clash against Newcastle.

Reports from Mundo Deportivo indicate that Yamal will also sit out La Liga fixtures against Getafe and Real Oviedo, further extending his time off the pitch.

The club aims for Yamal's comeback in the match against Real Sociedad; however, they plan to ease him back into action as a substitute. This cautious approach is vital as the team wants the young star to be "100% fit" for a potentially explosive Champions League encounter against PSG on October 1.

Barcelona is taking no chances with Yamal, given the severity of his injury. The club recognizes the complications associated with recovery and understands that any misstep could lead to a relapse.

While his absence will be felt on the field, head coach Hansi Flick has a wealth of attacking talent at his disposal. The likes of Fermin Lopez, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski are ready to step up, all having scored braces in their last match against Valencia. Additionally, Ferran Torres, Roony Bardghji, and Dani Olmo are also poised to shine, alongside promising young gun Toni Fernandez.

Fans await Yamal's return eagerly, but the focus now shifts to the robust arsenal Barcelona has managed to gather. Will the team maintain their momentum without their starlet? Only time will tell!
