Marca announces bad news about Lamine Yamal

Lamine Yamal will not be able to play in Barcelona’s match against Celta in Balaidos on Saturday. The striker has not yet recovered from the injury that prevented him from playing in the match against Real Sociedad and will therefore not be able to play in Vigo. Hansi Flick does not want to take any risks with him and will therefore wait a few more days as the forecast is that he will be able to play in the Champions League match against Brest on Tuesday.

Lamine suffered a severe ankle injury in the match against Red Star . “Lamine Yamal has a grade 1 injury to the syndesmosis of his right ankle. He will be out for approximately two to three weeks,” said the medical report issued by the club. It was already clear that he would not be in the match against Celta due to the medical services’ forecast of the length of absence.

The one who is expected to be available is Robert Lewandowski , who has been suffering from lower back problems that prevented him from attending the Polish national team training camp during this break. He has improved considerably in recent days and everything indicates that he will be able to play, although we will have to wait until the last training session. Therefore, Hansi Flick has three forwards for this match: Lewandowski, Raphinha and Pau Victor .

Eric García is also out for this match. The defender is recovering well from his injury, but he has not trained much yet, so the coach will wait a few days to count on him again. He could be ready for the match against Brest, as could Ferran Torres, who is already in the final stages of his recovery.

Barcelona are looking for a win in Vigo in order to extend their lead over Real Madrid, who face Leganés on Sunday . Flick’s problem is precisely the number of casualties he has, as Ansu Fati also got injured during the international break and will be out for a month.
