Marca looks back on the conflict over Yamal s injury: Three months of tension between Barcelona and the Spanish Football Federation

Yamal has missed many games for Barcelona and the national team due to injury, and the player's performance has also been affected. The injury not only ruled him out but also sparked a conflict between the club and the Spanish Football Federation. The dispute reached a new climax on Tuesday when the Spanish Football Federation issued a strong statement.

The core of the dispute is that Barcelona believes that Yamal's pubic pain requires proper rest and management during the international break, while the Spanish Football Federation insists that if the player can play in club games, he can also play for the national team. The result was a three-month period of tension, marked by statements, accusations and varying versions of the story.

The following is the important timeline of "Marca" reviewing Yamal's pubic pain incident:

-September 4: Yamal played 79 minutes in the game against Bulgaria and felt unwell.

- September 7: Despite not feeling well, Yamal played 73 minutes against Turkey.

-September 13: Yamal failed to participate in training due to pubic pain.

-Barcelona coach Flick severely criticized De La Fuente and the Spanish Football Association: "It is a pity that Yamal will miss the game against Valencia. He went to the national team with pain, took painkillers and played with the injury. He did not train between the two national team games. This is not a concern for the players. The Spanish team has the best players in the world, but should care more about the players. I am worried about this."
