The head coach of the "Barcelona" club, Hansi Flick, commented on Lamine Yamal's injury situation and his reluctance to rush the Spanish player back ahead of the upcoming Champions League match against "Newcastle United":

"Regarding L. Yamal, if he comes back, it has to be 100 percent, not 80, because he is a young player and we want to take care of the Spaniard."

"L. Yamal? He won't be able to play tomorrow. I don't know if the Spaniard will be ready for Sunday's match against the Madrid "Getafe" team. We should not rush his return."

18-year-old Lamine Yamal suffered an injury after the international window of the Spanish national team, and it is unclear when he will return to the lineup.
