Hansi Flick is said to have a 'headache' for Saturday's game against Celta in Balaídos. While Robert Lewandowski and Eric García will be available for the German for the match in Vigo and will return to training on Thursday, the sensations with Lamine Yamal are not entirely satisfactory and his presence in the first match after the break is up in the air.
In fact, sources from the Barcelona club revealed to the newspaper 'AS' that "it is very difficult for (Lamine) to make it on Saturday." The pain in the striker's right ankle has not stopped and, as of today, his call-up for the match on November 23 is practically ruled out.
Lamine received a hard blow to the ankle in the Champions League match against Red Star, which prevented him from playing against Real Sociedad in the last match before the FIFA date. Barça reported that he suffered "a grade one injury to the syndesmosis of his right ankle" and that he would be out for two to three weeks, a deadline that would expire on Saturday against Celta, although it is not ruled out that his return could be postponed to November 30, against Las Palmas in Montjuïc.
A sensitive loss for Hansi Flick
The player's feelings will be what ends up marking his return to the pitch, and within the Barça dressing room they maintain that although his right ankle still hurts, if he plays with his foot bandaged he hardly feels any discomfort. However, it is a delicate injury and the club will handle his recovery with extreme caution.
Yamal's loss is a sensitive one for Flick, who has not been able to win in La Liga without the presence of the Barça star, losing to Osasuna (4-2) and Real Sociedad (1-0). However, the German will have the returns of Lewandowski, Eric Garcia, Frenkie de Jong and Hector Fort, representing a relief in the face of the challenge of proving that there is no 'Laminedependence' at Barca.
