Yamal had been named in Luis de la Fuente's starting XI for the Denmark match, playing almost the entirety before being withdrawn due to injury, and while he has avoided any serious damage, his availability for Sunday's La Liga meeting with Sevilla is in doubt.
Barca boss Hansi Flick is already dealing with a lengthy injury list, including Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Dani Olmo.

The wonderkid has been in eye-catching form, registering four goals and five assists in nine La Liga matches this term, following an amazing breakout season and summer at the Euros.
With Barcelona facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League and Real Madrid soon after, manager Xavi will be desperate for Yamal to be involved in those battles.
