Barcelona face Real Oviedo in matchday 6 of LaLiga, a key fixture as they chase league leaders Real Madrid. However, concerns remain over the absence of Lamine Yamal, who has missed several games recently. The question on everyone’s mind is clear: will he be available for today’s clash?
So far, Lamine has missed three matches with Barcelona—two in LaLiga against Valencia and Getafe, and the Champions League opener in Newcastle. This will mark the fourth straight game the club plays without him.
Although he will not feature against Oviedo, the return of the young star is getting closer. Hansi Flick confirmed in his press conference that Lamine could reappear in one of Barcelona’s next two matches, either on Sunday, September 28, against Real Sociedad or on Wednesday, October 1, in the Champions League against PSG.
The 18-year-old is also eager to come back, especially after falling short in the Ballon d’Or vote against Ousmane Dembele. While he celebrated back-to-back Kopa Trophy wins, the winger knows that isn’t enough for his ambitions.
