Barça's Yamal out for season; WC not in peril

Barcelona's 18-year-old winger Lamine Yamal has been ruled out for the remainder of the LaLiga season after suffering a torn hamstring during Wednesday's 1-0 win over Celta Vigo, in which he scored a penalty. He will undergo a conservative treatment plan without surgery and will miss the club's final six league games. However, Barcelona confirmed he is expected to be fit for Spain's World Cup opener on June 15 against Cape Verde in Atlanta, with Spain currently nine points clear of Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga.
