Last-minute Yamal injury fears in Barcelona-Inter semi-final warm-up

Lamine Yamal caused major concerns in the Barcelona camp ahead of their Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter with a last-minute injury fear at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. 

On what is his 100th competitive Barcelona appearance, the 17-year-old reported a concern with his thigh during the warm-up, and was briefly taken into the dressing room for last-minute treatement ahead of kick-off against Inter.

Yamal cleared to play in Barcelona-Inter

The teenage Spain international was named in the starting line-up alongside Raphinha and Ferran Torres in the Barcelona attack, stepped out for the warm-up as usual with the rest of his teammates, but had to return back to the tunnel for treatment ahead of kick-off. 

Yamal appeared to touch the inside of his thigh during the warm-up. He was briefly seen to by a club physio on the pitch before heading back down the tunnel for further assessment.
