Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has on Friday seen his excellence across the month to date recognised by La Liga.
This comes amid confirmation that the 17-year-old has been included on the shortlist for the December U23 Player of the Month prize.
Wide-man Lamine, for his part, has taken to the pitch in Spain’s top-flight on three occasions this month.
And, across these outings, the Spanish international’s creative brilliance continued to shine through, Lamine having notched assists in meetings with both RCD Mallorca and Real Betis.
The youngster will not be available to play his part in Barcelona’s final fixture of the calendar year, against Atlético Madrid on Saturday night.
This comes owing to an ankle injury suffered last weekend.
But as much has not stopped Lamine from securing for himself a nomination for La Liga’s U23 Player of the Month, joining the likes of Arda Güler and Fábio Silva on the shortlist for the accolade:
