Barcelona assistant coach Marcus Sorg has confirmed Lamine Yamal is set to undergo tests after picking up an issue [during the defeat to Leganes](https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2024/12/15/24320180/barcelona-leganes-la-liga-final-score-match-report-recap-reactions).
Yamal signalled to come off in the first half and appeared to be really struggling. However, he stayed on and ended up playing 75 minutes at Montjuic.
Sorg was asked about Yamal after the game and offered the following update.
> “Lamine decided that he was fine and could continue playing. I cannot say that he is fine, we will have to wait for the medical team’s examination,” he told reporters.
Sorg was also asked about the result and was at a loss to explain the defeat.
> “It’s very hard to understand this defeat. The first problem was the lack of concentration in the first five minutes of the match. We conceded that first goal. We had 20 chances despite not playing a good match but we didn’t score. It’s difficult to win like this,” he said.
>
> “We have to learn from this. We have played many demanding matches in a few days and the team is not used to this. We have to work on it.”
Barcelona now have a free week to prepare for their next game against Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
