Lamine Yamal's recovery from injury may be more complicated than first thought as Barcelona were warned against rushing him back into the team.
"It's not a typical sprain, it's a much more specific injury, a slight tear of the membrane that joins the tibia to the fibula, which is known as syndesmosis," Dr Ripoll told Cadena SER. "The prognosis is much more uncertain."
He added: "He has played 80 per cent of the games and last year he reached 91%. [Barcelona] will do well to let him heal completely and without any rush... A diastasis can occur, which is the separation of the tibia and fibula due to the lack of this membrane, leaving the ankle in a very unstable state."
