Barcelona coach Hansi Flick says teenage forward Lamine Yamal is getting back to his “top level” ahead of Barcelona’s La Liga match on Monday against Rayo Vallecano. Flick indicates Yamal is improving after a period in which his performances and mood appeared mixed.
The reports note that Yamal seemed in a bad mood following Barcelona’s previous La Liga match against Elche, where the team won 5-0, but he appears happier and more settled in training ahead of the Rayo game. One account also links his recent return toward top form to recovery from injury and his involvement at the World Cup.
Additional coverage frames Yamal’s trajectory through recent match performances under Flick. He reportedly struggled in Barcelona’s 5-0 win at Elche, then showed an improved display in a subsequent 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao. Across outlets, the central point is that Flick publicly expresses confidence in Yamal’s readiness and form for the upcoming league fixture, without specifying an exact injury status timeline.
