Lamine Yamal is considered one of the biggest promises of La Masia, Barcelona’s youth team, and of Spanish football. Last month, while he was concentrated with the Spain under-17 team, Yamal committed a serious act of indiscipline and was punished.
The reason for the ban has not been revealed by Barcelona, but the 15-year-old has been suspended for four games at the club and has had his Spain call-up “canceled”.
Yamal was already training with the professionals at Barça and the suspension ended this week. In addition, the young striker changed his manager and is being managed by Jorge Mendes, who will carry out the renewal of his contract with the Catalan club.
