Hansi Flick has delivered good news ahead of this weekend’s La Liga clash: 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal is 100% ready to play.
Yamal Rested and Recharged
The teenage winger sat out the international break to recover from a packed schedule. Flick confirmed the strategy worked perfectly.
“Lamine has trained brilliantly this week,” the manager said. “The two weeks off did him a lot of good, he’s fresh and sharp.”
Raphinha Returns – But Carefully
Brazilian star Raphinha is also back in full training after injury. He’ll be on the bench to start, with minutes managed closely to avoid any setback.
Pedri Still a Doubt
Midfield maestro Pedri continues his gradual comeback. Flick said it’s “step by step” and stopped short of confirming his availability for the Champions League showdown with Chelsea.
Tough Weeks Ahead
With La Liga and Champions League fixtures piling up, Flick stressed the importance of smart rotation.
“These recovery weeks were vital,” he added. “We need every player physically and mentally ready for what’s coming.”
Barcelona fans can breathe easier: their teenage superstar is back, the attack is strengthening, and Flick’s squad is gearing up for a decisive run.
