Lamine Yamal continues his streak of individual success as he is honored by the Spanish Footballers’ Association (AFE).

Recently, Lamine Yamal was awarded the “Best Player of the 2024/25 Season” by the Spanish Footballers’ Association (AFE). According to SPORT, the AFE awards ceremony is set to take place today at Las Ventas bullring, a famous landmark in Madrid.

Earlier in the day, AFE representatives visited Barcelona’s Ciutat Esportiva training center to personally present the trophy to Yamal. However, it remains unclear whether the 18-year-old will be able to attend the gala, as he is currently required to join the Spanish national team training camp in preparation for the upcoming international matches.

🩺 Barcelona Seeks Top Specialist to Treat Yamal’s Pubalgia

Recently, Yamal has experienced some discomfort due to pubalgia (groin pain). Although he has regained his form, the 18-year-old forward still feels slight pain, prompting Barcelona to consult a leading specialist to ensure the injury does not recur.

According to SPORT, the club’s medical team met with Dr. Ernest Schilders, a Belgian orthopedic surgeon and world-renowned expert in groin and adductor injuries, at the Joan Gamper training center.

Dr. Ernest Schilders is a highly respected orthopedic surgeon who has performed over 3,000 hip arthroscopies and developed several advanced treatment techniques for athletes. He is considered a pioneer in minimally invasive procedures that promote faster recovery and reduce the risk of nerve damage — a crucial factor for professional footballers.

The techniques developed by Ernest Schilders have helped many world-class athletes return to peak performance. His visit to Barcelona this time is aimed at sharing expertise and assessing Yamal’s condition.

💬 The Club Confirms It Was a Routine Medical Consultation
According to internal sources at Barcelona, collaborating with international doctors and specialists is a regular practice in the club’s medical operations. The goal is to compare diagnoses, update medical knowledge, and ensure players receive the best possible treatment.

In Yamal’s case, the meeting with Dr. Schilders was merely a preventive medical consultation. Barcelona currently has no plans for any special medical intervention.
