ROMANCE OFF THE PITCH
Yamal, who first picked up the injury with Spain in September, has limited appearances for Barcelona this season. Despite the setback, he is using the club’s current break to relax with his partner, Argentine rap star Nicki Nicole.
INJURY AND CLUB CONCERNS
The 18-year-old has been less involved in domestic action, with Barcelona closely monitoring his recovery after concerns over injuries sustained during World Cup qualifying duty. The club is taking a cautious approach ahead of upcoming matches, including the high-profile Clasico against Real Madrid on October 26.

YAMAL AND NICKI NICOLE
The couple, together since Yamal’s 18th birthday celebrations, have found ways to connect despite hectic schedules. A shared video shows them on a helicopter ride over the Croatian coast, with Yamal humorously hinting at his unease through dizzy and crying emojis on social media. Fans also got glimpses of intimate moments as the pair relaxed together.
ROAD TO RECOVERY
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick confirmed Yamal’s progress is steady but uncertain: “It’s better but it’s not good. With this injury, it’s not so easy to know when he will return… We go step by step. We have to see how the evolution is.” No risks will be taken, with the club prioritising his full recovery before key fixtures.
