Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick has commented on Lamine Yamal's call-up to the Spanish national team.
Details: Before the match against Celta, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick was asked about Lamine Yamal's call-up to Spain, given that the youngster has only recently recovered from injury.
"I'm asking for the same thing I do here: that he is looked after. He has changed, he feels much better now. He's training very well, continuing his rehab in the gym and doing great work. This is important for his pubalgia," Flick said, referring to groin pain.
The German specialist admitted that Barcelona's young winger still experiences some discomfort in his groin area.
"He is not yet at 100%, he still has some discomfort. We need to take care of him not just here, but also in the national team. I believe they are looking after him there as well," the coach added.
This season, the Spanish winger has played just ten matches for Barcelona, netting five goals and providing five assists.
Reminder: Barcelona have set their sights on Lyon winger Malick Fofana if they fail to sign Rashford.
