The Catalan club was furious at the return of Lamine Yamal, injured in the hip, which forced him to miss the victory of Sunday against Valencia. He is also uncertain for the opening match of the Champions League on Thursday against Newcastle United.
Hansi Flick expressed the feeling of Barça on this subject during his intervention in the media on Saturday, although sources close to the RFEF have since denied the assertions of the 55 -year -old man, who now has the last word.
Questioned by Movistar+ after the 6-0 victory against Valence on Sunday evening (via Diario As), Flick was surveyed on his comments concerning the management of Lamine Yamal by the RFEF.
“I said what I said, nothing more. Nothing to comment. »»

Flick delighted with Barça's performance against Valence
The Sunday's match marked the first victory of Barcelona in Liga without Lamine Yamal since the start of the reign of Flick. The 18 -year -old had conceded a draw and lost two of the three failed games last season. The Catalan coach was delighted with the performance of his team.
“I am very happy, because the team showed that we play together, so it didn't matter. It can always happen, De Jong was absent, Balde was absent … It's like that. We have to focus on each match and be ready for each of them. »»
It remains to be seen if Lamine Yamal will be back for Thursday's trip to Newcastle, which will be a much more difficult match for Barcelona. However, the Flick team has shown that it did not depend on its star winger.
