Injury Update
Yamal is currently sidelined due to p***c discomfort, which has ruled him out of today's LaLiga clash against Valencia and puts his participation in Barcelona’s upcoming Champions League opener vs Newcastle in serious doubt.
😠 Club vs Country Tensions
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is openly frustrated with Spain’s national team coach Luis de la Fuente, accusing him of overusing Yamal during international duty. Despite arriving with pain, Yamal played over 70 minutes in both matches against Bulgaria and Turkey, which Flick claims worsened his condition.
📅 Matches He Might Miss
If recovery takes a week or more, Yamal could miss:
- Sept 14: vs Valencia (confirmed)
- Sept 18: vs Newcastle (Champions League opener)
- Sept 21: vs Getafe (still doubtful)
⚽ Barcelona’s Attacking Woes
With Frenkie de Jong and Gavi also dealing with injuries, Flick is scrambling for attacking options. Raphinha and Ronald Araújo are fit, but Yamal’s absence is a blow to their momentum.
