The Barcelona season continues to swing between relief and despair. Only a few days after producing another comeback – this time against Real Oviedo in the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere – the Blaugrana news received that both their fans were equal and worried. On the one hand, Lamine Yamal is finally set to return.
The 18-year-old prodigy has been sidelined since the emphatic 6-0 victory of Spain earlier this month of Turkey, his absence attributed to persistent groin and back discomfort. Barcelona boss Hansi Flick had not hidden his frustration with the Spanish national team and even accused them of the excessive use of the young person. “They gave him pain -relieving injections and played him despite his injury,” Flick complained earlier in September.
Now there is hope. DIARIO ALS Confirmed that Yamal trained with the entire team on Friday, where President Joan Laporta threw through that he can already see for minutes in the Sunday with Real Sociedad. Yamal fed the excitement himself and shared a video on Instagram added: “Hey! I’m back.”
The timing cannot be better. Barcelona faces Paris Saint-Germain-a Champions League confrontation in the midweek that will demand every gram of their talent.
Barcelona pays a tough price
For each positive, however, Barcelona seems cursed with two setbacks. Thursday’s 3-1 victory, while they expanded their winning run without Yamal, was a steep prize. Two important starters have now become a member of the ever -growing injury list.
