Officials from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) are reported to have been left surprised by Hansi Flick’s criticism over Lamine Yamal’s injury.
The Barcelona manager took aim at the RFEF for their management of Yamal, who has returned injured from an international window which saw him start twice for Spain. Flick accused medical staff of “not looking after” Yamal by making him train through pain and declining to rest the winger even when Luis de la Fuente’s side had wrapped up comfortable wins over both Bulgaria and Türkiye.
