Good news for FC Barcelona. The Barça infirmary is about to lose two patients. Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres, who had already done part of the group training in the last few days, have done all the exercises this Thursday with their teammates. If nothing goes wrong, it is logical that they will be included in Flick's squad for the match against Las Palmas.
It is very positive that the Barça squad is as complete as possible before the end of the year. The Catalan team still has six matches ahead of them and they are not easy. If they win them, and with luck on their side, they could end 2024 as leaders of the two competitions in which they have participated so far. Thus, the German coach will want to have them all available and in top form.
Lamine Yamal is the most missed footballer
On November 6, FC Barcelona beat Red Star 2-5 in Belgrade. Four days after that match, the club published a statement with the medical report of an injury to Lamine Yamal. The diagnosis was a bruise on his right ankle. That assessment would be cancelled because, less than 24 hours later, Barça's official social networks announced a new one, reporting that the player suffered a grade one injury in the syndesmosis of his right ankle. The prognosis for his absence was 2-3 weeks.
He sat in the stands against Real Sociedad and Celta, something that the team noticed a lot. Against Brest he was again left out, although a stellar Barça was able to overwhelm the French team on the night of Lewandowski's 101 Champions League goals. However, having fully joined his teammates in training 17 days after the second medical report, it seems that he will reappear on the pitch this weekend.
Ferrán Torres also trains with the group
The Valencian winger was very important for Hansi Flick before his injury. He participated in all of FC Barcelona's matches except for one, against Villarreal, in which he was not available due to suspension. He was injured against Alavés on October 6. The following day, the Blaugrana team published their medical report, in which he was diagnosed with a muscle injury in the femoral biceps of his right thigh. It did not stipulate a time out, but did clarify that it depended on the timing of his evolution.
Like Lamine Yamal, he trained with his teammates on Thursday and could be called up for this weekend's match. Everything will depend on how he feels, as it is a muscular problem and caution must be taken.
