FC Barcelona will try to pass five without its superstar. Lamine Yamal is not in the squad to face Real Sociedad this Sunday, for the 13th day of La Liga. And for good reason, the 18-year-old Spanish international suffers from a “severe contusion”, as the Blaugrana club indicated in a press release, since the Champions League match against Red Star Belgrade. Treated since then, the Catalan phenomenon will be unavailable until further notice, without the date of its return having already been considered.
Author of 5 goals and 7 assists in La Liga since the start of the season, Lamine Yamal will be replaced by Firmin Lopez in the Basque Country eleven. The next games for the Barcelona players will see them facing Celta Vigo and… Stade Brestois in the Champions League. Eric Roy’s men will perhaps have this significant parameter less to manage during their prestigious trip to the Camp Nou.
In La Liga, Barça is at the top of the standings, 6 points ahead of Real Madrid, even before the clash with Real Sociedad.
