At just 18, the Spanish prodigy is once again at the heart of controversy. After a recent dispute between Barc\u0327a and the Spanish Football Federation over his injury, the club confirmed that the young forward will miss a few weeks due to pubic pain, aiming for a return in time for El Clasico.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Yet, beyond medical concerns, Yamal\u2019s off-field behavior is reportedly alarming both the club\u2019s management and his teammates. According to Cadena SER, Barc\u0327a leaders are increasingly uneasy about his lifestyle and attitude, notably after incidents surrounding his birthday celebration and his high-profile relationship with singer Nicki Nicole.<\/p>\n<p><b>Discipline under pressure at Barcelona<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hans Dieter Flick, who has tried to restore strict discipline since taking charge, now finds himself in a delicate situation. Ahead of the PSG match, Yamal\u2019s late arrival to a team meeting prompted Flick to consider excluding him from the squad. But sporting director Deco intervened, arguing that Yamal\u2019s case required <b>\u201cspecial handling.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The decision angered several players, who viewed the exception as unfair given previous disciplinary measures against others like Jules Kounde\u0301 and Raphinha. Flick reportedly fears that inconsistent management could fracture the team\u2019s unity. With tensions rising and the dressing room increasingly divided, Barc\u0327a\u2019s challenge now extends far beyond the pitch \u2014 maintaining balance between nurturing its young star and preserving authority within a fragile squad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
