Lamine Yamal was out and injured after the game against Leganes. The team has felt his absence intensely and it shows on the pitch. Barca lacked the creative attacking flair that Lamine provided on the right wing. Barca fans are dearly waiting for the return of the teenage sensation to put the team back on winning ways. Until then Barca will have to find other solutions, the most feasible being the introduction of another La Masia star.
Comeback sooner than expected?
The good news for Culers and Hansi Flick is that Yamal is recovering more quickly than expected according to a report by Javi Miguel Lamine Yamal underwent a thorough evaluation on Sunday during the team’s first training session after the holiday break.
The results were excellent: his ankle is now completely stable, and he is expected to begin training on the field soon. The main goal is to have him fully recovered in time for the Spanish Super Cup. Both the player and the medical staff are very optimistic
Providing creativity and unpredictability to the team
With the return of Lamine Yamal Hansi Flick can hope to play his attacking style of football more accurately like at the start of the season. The right wing of Barcelona will be able to cause chaos among the defenders again with the combination of Lamine and Jules Kounde. Raphinia will benefit from this as well as he can return to his now favorite position as an inside forward on the left side of the pitch. Pedri can return to his duties deeper in the midfield as well and orchestrate the game. Barcelona have hopes of bouncing back in the second half of the season with their star boy being a major weapon in their arsenal.
