Barcelona coach Hansi Flick says he is hopeful that Lamine Yamal will be available for Sunday’s La Liga match against Valencia after the teenager suffers a knock. Multiple outlets report that Yamal does not train with the rest of the squad ahead of the trip and that Barcelona will assess his condition before the game.
Flick confirms Yamal misses training with the group on Saturday. Reports also say Yamal undertakes an individual workout while recovering, indicating the injury is being managed separately rather than requiring an immediate return to full participation. One outlet notes Flick plans to make a late decision on Yamal’s availability, while another frames the situation as Yamal’s fitness being uncertain after he did not join the team for the final session.
Overall, the coverage aligns on the key point that Yamal’s status depends on how his knock responds in the final hours before kickoff, with Barcelona monitoring his recovery and deciding closer to the match.
