The Catalan team head coach, Hansi Flick, has slammed Spain’s handling of Lamine Yamal after revealing that the young superstar will miss his team’s upcoming match vs. Valencia at Camp Nou tomorrow.
Flick claimed that Spain knew that Lamine had problems and was not at his best fitness level, but despite that, he decided to play him from the 1st minute in both of their games during the international break against Bulgaria and Turkey.

Lamine pulled out of training before the clash against Valencia as the winger experienced physical problems. While the German manager didn’t reveal how long Yamal will not be able to play, the information is that he had back problems ahead of the international break.
Barcelona boss could not hide his anger as he announced Lamine will not play tomorrow at Camp Nou and shared that he doesn’t know why Yamal started both Spain’s matches and remained on the pitch almost until the end vs. Bulgaria and Turkey, despite the fact that he had problems.
Hansi said that it is a shame that this happened, and now Yamal is out injured and can’t play for Barcelona.
