Lamine Yamal\u00a0<\/strong>has suffered another injury just before the upcoming FIFA international break, a period that will provide him with extra time to recover and return to action for FC Barcelona. Already, there are signs of the team\u2019s growing reliance on the young star.<\/p>\n

\n

It’s worth taking a closer look at\u00a0Barcelona<\/strong>‘s schedule\u2014and particularly their results as they lead La Liga this season. There’s reason to question whether Bar\u00e7a might have a “Lamine-dependence.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The fact is that in the two matches where Yamal hasn\u2019t started, Barcelona has ended up losing. These games include their clash with Osasuna at El Sadar and the recent away loss against Real Sociedad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
