Hansi Flick’s side are also missing Raphinha, leaving them short on attacking options ahead of a crucial run of fixtures.
Barcelona host Real Madrid on May 10 in a potentially decisive El Clásico, while wins against Getafe and Osasuna would help preserve their advantage going into that match.
Yamal has been a standout performer this season with 24 goals and 18 assists, while Raphinha has also been key on the left flank.
Flick admitted the injuries are a setback but urged his squad to step up in the final stretch of the campaign. — AFP
