Barcelona manager Hansi Flick remains hopeful that Lamine Yamal will be fit for the crucial Copa del Rey showdown against Atlético Madrid.
The young sensation missed training ahead of the match, leaving his availability uncertain.
“We have to wait and evaluate. I think he can play, I have positive sensations,” Flick told the media, expressing cautious optimism about Yamal’s condition.
The 17-year-old winger has been instrumental for Barcelona this season, delivering five goals and eleven assists in 22 La Liga appearances. His creativity and attacking threat have made him a key figure in Flick’s setup, and the team will be eager to have him available for this high-stakes encounter.
“We have to wait 24 hours to know if he will be available against Atlético de Madrid, but I really hope to have Lamine on the template,” Flick added.
With a Copa del Rey semifinal spot on the line, Barcelona will be hoping for positive news as Yamal races against time to make the squad.
