Barcelona’s teenage sensation, Lamine Yamal, is set to return this weekend in a La Liga game against Las Palmas after recovering from an ankle injury that sidelined him for three weeks.
- Coach Hansi Flick confirmed that while it’s undecided if Yamal will start, he will definitely feature in the game.
- The 17-year-old winger has been a key player for Barcelona this season, scoring six goals and providing eight assists in 16 appearances.
- His absence has been felt, with the team struggling to secure wins during the games he missed, managing only one point in the two La Liga matches in November.
- Yamal also missed Tuesday’s Champions League victory against Brest, where Barcelona won 3-0.
- Despite this, the team remains top of the La Liga table, four points ahead of Real Madrid, although Madrid has played one game less.
- Coach Flick also provided an update on Ronald Araujo, who is nearing a comeback after recovering from hamstring surgery sustained during the Copa America in July.
- This weekend’s game is crucial for Barcelona as they aim to maintain their lead in the league standings, with Yamal’s return expected to provide a significant boost to the team’s attack.
