It’s been almost three weeks since Lamine Yamal injured his ankle during FC Barcelona’s 1-0 home defeat against Leganes.
His absence was felt against Atlético Madrid before the winter break, and his confidence in Hansi Flick’s side is underlined by the fact that they are yet to win a game this season without he is not the holder.
Dependence on Yamal exacerbated
Lamine Yamal has been training throughout the winter break in anticipation of getting back into shape as quickly as possible, and things are going well. According to Diario AS, he is expected to take part in collective training during Thursday’s session, as he continues to move closer to his goal of being available for next week’s Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Athletic Club.
He will not be put in danger for this weekend’s Copa del Rey match against Barbastro, but barring any setbacks, he should be able to make the trip to Saudi Arabia early next week. Barcelona will be pleased that his recovery period has gone well, although they will need to ensure that his ankle does not suffer any negative effects upon his return to action.
