Pau Cubarsi is also uncertain for the next match against Getafe, after his release against Newcastle United in the Champions League Thursday evening.
According to Sport, Lamine Yamal will not reappear against Getafe on Sunday evening (9:00 p.m. CEST), his persistent back problems. He follows daily physiotherapy sessions to accelerate his convalescence, but Barcelona wishes to precipitate his return and will not take any risks this weekend.
Better news regarding Cubarsi's injury, released as a precaution at St. James' Park following a knee blow. Although he felt a left knee pain, it seems that it is just a simple blow, and Cubarsi should be available for Hansi Flick. However, he could see a good excuse to run, with two other games in the middle of the coming week.
When could Lamine Yamal come back?
As announced earlier this week, Barcelona wants Lamine Yamal to be 100 % back for the shock against Paris Saint-Germain on October 1. This could result in a few minutes of play for Lamine Yamal against Real Sociedad on September 28, but it also seems absent against Real Oviedo in the middle of the week, unless surprised.
Alternatives for Hansi Flick
It seems likely that Raphinha remains on the right flank for Barcelona, as was the case against Newcastle. Flick could also call on Roony Bardghji, holder against Valence, but replaced by the Brazilian at halftime. These would be the most natural options, even if Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres have already been used in this position.
