Barcelona vs Sevilla: Teenage sensation Yamal shines to send Xavi's men top of LaLiga
Barcelona defeated Sevilla 1-0 thanks to a Sergi Ramos own-goal as the Blaugrana climbed to the top of the LaLiga and extended their 100% home record this season.
The former Leeds United winger clutched his hamstring before being taken off against Sevilla, and it is now being reported that he suffered an injury to the muscle at the back of his thigh.
With the gruelling nature of fixtures coming in thick and fast across most of the top five European leagues, it is not surprising that another top professional has succumbed to a muscular injury, with Barcelona’s Raphinha joining the likes of Pedri and Frenkie de Jong on the team’s injury list.
Raphinha doubtful for El Clasico
Early reports from Spanish outlet Mundo Deportiv suggest that Raphinha was taken off after suffering a torn hamstring, which could ensure the Brazilian forward is out of action for up to one month in a busy period for the Blaugrana.
