Barcelona's Lamine Yamal Diagnosed with Pubalgia, a Condition Also Affecting Lionel Messi

A young soccer player for Barcelona, Lamine Yamal, is having some pain because of a condition called pubalgia.

This is when muscles in his lower belly area get sore.

It's a bit like having a bad muscle ache that doesn't go away easily.

This same problem used to bother another famous Barcelona player, Lionel Messi, a long time ago.

Even though it hurts sometimes, the coach says Lamine is getting better and still plays a lot.

He helps the team by scoring goals and helping others score.

The coach wants him to play in his favorite spot on the wing to help him feel his best.
