First in La Liga with a match in advance, FC Barcelona could well see Atletico Madrid overtake them this weekend. On cloud nine since the start of the season, the Culés have however had a series of disappointments in the league for several weeks. Beaten by Leganés at home last week (0-1), the Blaugranas also lost Lamine Yamal to injury. Unavailable for 3 weeks, the 17-year-old will therefore miss the clash against Diego Simeone’s team. At a press conference, Hansi Flick returned to the absence of his jewel.
“ We have to accept this injury and the fact that he is not available. We have several options to replace it although we haven’t decided yet “, he said. Little in sight since the start of the season, with 6 small starts in 12 La Liga matches, Ferran Torres could well take advantage of his teammate’s absence to score points.
