Yamal in contention for Valencia clash after knock
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick says Lamine Yamal will travel with the squad but has not confirmed the teenager’s selection against Valencia.
Lamine Yamal remains in contention for Barcelona’s La Liga match against Valencia after training separately following a knock, manager Hansi Flick said.
Flick told a pre-match press conference that Yamal had reported pain but was “fine”, would travel with the squad and could play at Mestalla. His comments did not confirm that the forward would be selected.
Barcelona have won their first three league matches of the season, while Valencia have one point and are yet to record a victory.
Flick also warned Barcelona against complacency after Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of the season against Real Betis. He said the match would be difficult and that the team needed to focus its efforts on winning.
No diagnosis, severity assessment or confirmed line-up was provided in the report.
