Barcelona are adamant they will not take any unnecessary risks with the fitness of young winger Lamine Yamal who, according to manager Hansi Flick, recognizes the need to put more focus on his wellbeing.
Yamal returned from the latest international break with a groin injury which left Flick seething, publicly accusing Spain officials of failing to protect the Ballon d’Or runner-up. He has missed the last three games in all competitions and will not return in time for Thursday’s game against Real Oviedo.
