Western media: Yamal overcomes emotional troubles

Yamal fights osteitis pubis: Barcelona has developed an exclusive rehabilitation plan, aiming directly at the battle with Chelsea

According to "World Sports", although he is only 18 years old, Barcelona star Ramin Yamal is experiencing the first real injury challenge in his career. The Spanish international was forced to stop training completely over the past few days due to persistent pain in his pubic area and missed the national team's two World Cup qualifying matches against Georgia and Turkey.

However, things are improving. After receiving a radiofrequency ablation treatment (a minimally invasive interventional therapy) on November 10, Yamal underwent strict rest for 48 to 72 hours and began special recovery training under the guidance of two club rehabilitationists last Thursday. The goal is clear: return to competition within 7 to 10 days.

In fact, in the team training held at Gamber Sports City on Wednesday, Yamal has partially participated in the training content guided by Flick. This is his first training with the first team after the injury, which sends a positive signal.

Priority target: Chelsea battle

While he has not been ruled out for this weekend's game against Athletic Bilbao - which will be a small-scale "test" - the club's real focus is to ensure that he is in top form for the crucial Champions League away game against Chelsea in early December.

It is worth mentioning that Yamal himself is very much looking forward to returning to the newly renamed Spotify Camp Nou Stadium, but the medical team has a firm attitude: if the recovery progress is not satisfactory, he will never be forced to play.

At present, his rehabilitation process is jointly supervised by Dr. Ernst Hildes, a famous Belgian sports medicine expert, and Dr. Pruner, the Barcelona team doctor. Hildes has previously evaluated Yamal and recognized his recovery progress. He will go to Barcelona again in the near future to jointly formulate the next stage of treatment plan.

Pain and worry, but refused surgery

According to sources close to the players, Yamal once felt anxious due to severe pain and even worried that the injury would affect his career. But he and his family were firmly opposed to any surgical options from the beginning. "They don't want to hear the word 'operation'," said an insider.

To ensure nothing goes wrong, Barcelona took the initiative to introduce external expert opinions and quickly arranged for Dr. Hildes to intervene, which reflects the club's high regard for this future core.

National team trip: Even though he knew he could not play, he still reported to the Spanish national team

Despite his eagerness to play for his country, Yamal still reported to the Spanish national team as planned on the evening of November 10, but he and his team had already known that since he had just completed treatment that day, he would not be able to travel with the team. This decision was a consensus reached after early communication between the club and the players. It was a "symbolic return to the team" and he then returned to Barcelona to focus on recovery.

High self-discipline: Young geniuses learn to "slow down"

The doctor has clearly told Yamal: Osteitis pubis is a "cunning" injury. If he does not recover thoroughly, it may recur, or even drag on for months. The young genius listened. Now, he devotes himself to recovery, suspending all non-essential activities and focusing on strengthening the core muscles and improving local stability to eliminate the risk of recurrence.

At the same time, he also made adjustments in his personal life. Since the El Clasico, he has significantly reduced his social media exposure, and the next planned promotional video will be postponed until it is confirmed that he can play against Chelsea. In addition, he has ended his relationship with Argentinian singer Nicki Nicol - the recent emotional turmoil caused by this relationship is also believed to have had a certain impact on his physical condition.

Ambition has not diminished, details win

Despite the setbacks, Yamal's ambition has not diminished at all: "I want to be the number one in the world and lead Barcelona back to the top." He knows that to achieve this goal, he must be more rigorous in his daily habits.

It is reported that he has specially set up a physiotherapy area in his new residence and is equipped with an advanced hydrotherapy recovery system. He firmly believes that "every detail determines success or failure."

Background supplement: There are early signs of injuries

In fact, Yamal has been feeling unwell intermittently since returning from playing for the Spanish national team in September this year. Although he returned after the international break in October and scored consecutive goals and assists in games against Girona, Elche and Celta Vigo, and also contributed 1 goal and 1 assist against Club Brugge in the Champions League, his body has not really recovered. Especially after Vigo's game against Celta Vigo, severe pain occurred again in the pubic area, which prompted the club to decisively launch the "Lamine Rehabilitation Plan".

Now, this rising star is facing the first major test of his career with a mature attitude. Barcelona believes from top to bottom that the short pause is for a longer period of shining.
