Manager of Barcelona Hansi Flick had suffered a defeat and a loss without Lamine Yamal on the pitch due to his ankle injury, and could be tempted to return sooner than necessary for their clash against Brest in the Champions League. In retrospect, Flick was quite right, but the prospect of a mini-crisis did not see the German wavering.
Flick was seen speaking Yamal plates on the pitch after the Brest match in an intense conversation, and revealed in his press conference after the match that he had told the teenager that he hoped to be able to use it on Saturday against Las Palmas. Multiple reports say Flick was given the green light to return to training on Wednesday.

According to AS DiaryLamine Yamal was still suffering from pain last week in the ankle, but since the weekend he was symptom-free. He tested his ankle on Sunday with his teammates, and it was basically fine, and he could play without problems on Tuesday with some strapping. However Flick was firm – he didn't want any unnecessary risks.
