Per Body: Barca think they have no problem dealing with Yamal injury, report says

"Daily Sports" reported that Barcelona believes that they are blameless in handling Yamal's injury and communicating with the Spanish Football Association.

The treatment regimen used for osteitis pubis in Yamal has triggered a new controversy between Barcelona and the Spanish Football Federation. However, Barcelona believe that they have nothing to blame as they believe that what they did first was to protect the health of their players and they have informed the Football Association of this matter.

Barcelona sources confirmed to "Daily Sports" that after the game against Celta Vigo, they had informed the Football Association's doctors that an external medical team will examine Yamal on Monday to analyze his osteitis pubis in detail. Barcelona did not know at the time that doctors would arrange a radiofrequency treatment plan for the player that would require a rest period.

After the doctor informed Barcelona that implementation of the procedure would be beneficial and subsequent treatment, Barcelona immediately notified the Football Association at about 1 noon and informed the players that they needed about 4 to 5 days of rest. In fact, the Football Association's announcement also admitted that they knew about the treatment for Yamal before 2 p.m.

The subsequent final medical report was delivered very late. On this point, the Football Association was right. The reason was that the doctor had to travel to London, and he only drafted the report and sent it to Barcelona after arriving in the British capital. When Barcelona received the report, it forwarded it to the Spanish Football Association. At this time, the rest period mentioned in the report was 7 to 10 days, so the Football Association decided to let Yamal leave the team the next day.
