Lamine Yamal is a major injury doubt for Barcelona's La Liga clash with Atletico Madrid next weekend.
Barcelona's 1-0 league defeat at home to Leganes has dented their title challenge, with only goal difference separating them from Los Rojiblancos.
A dip in domestic form means the Catalans have won just one of their last six league games and their clash with Atletico Madrid on December 21 is now crucial.
Lamine Yamal opted to stay on against Leganes after suffering an early ankle injury, but the risk did not pay off.
He was substituted after 75 minutes due to major concerns about his availability for Barcelona's final match of 2024.
According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, he will undergo tests over the next 24 hours to determine the extent of the problem, but the early signs are worrying.
He is reported to have suffered a sprain, but even a mild sprain will rule him out and potentially disrupt his 2025 start.
