FC Barcelona may have to do without Lamine Yamal for a long time. The Spain international has injured his ankle and Hansi Flick has no good news to give.
FC Barcelona was not bluffing. Lamine Yamal is much weakened following Barça's trip to Red Star Belgrade in the middle of the week (2-5). Sunday evening, the Spanish international was announced as having a minor injury.
However, Hansi Flick gave much less good news at a press conference. “We will miss Lamine Yamal now… I don’t know if he will come back after the international break. We asked that he not make the trip to the national team,” explained the Catalan manager. Already, Yamal did not participate in the Blaugrana's defeat at Real Sociedad (1-0), he was in the stands, his face closed.
Following this setback in Basque lands, Barcelona knows it, they may have restarted the title race. Their Madrid rival is only six points behind with one game in hand at Valencia CF. The meeting was postponed following deadly floods in the Valencia region.
After the break, Barça will have a lighter schedule ahead of time with Celta de Vigo and Las Palmas as opponents. Then, at the end of December, we will have to face the terrible Atlético de Madrid.
