Lamine Yamal has shown plenty of promise to Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez, as evidenced by the player’s considerably more regular playing time over the last two months. The teen’s increasing physical capability plays a part in it.
Understandably, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal would experience a similar outcome given the injury concerns that have caused Ansu Fati, Pedri, and Gavi to all miss a substantial amount of time of play. Particularly after Xavi started him from the beginning in eight consecutive games before their match against Getafe, when he was substituted off the field for the whole contest.
However, according to MD, he has been adhering to a particular exercise regimen to prepare him for the demands of the professional game. He has grown by 2.5 cm as a result, and the Barcelona medical team anticipates that he will eventually grow to be a little under six feet tall. He has put on 7 kg of muscle this season so far as part of his workout regimen.
They continue by saying that Pedri has implemented a similar strategy to gain muscle and be able to withstand the physical demands of the game. Particularly with Lamine Yamal, who is still developing organically, it’s a delicate balance. Pedri has appeared noticeably bigger on the pitch in the interim, but he hasn’t yet displayed the same level of drive that he did before his return from a string of injuries.
