Lamine Yamal trains with Barcelona as team shows support – father remains in hospital after stabbing
Barcelona star Yamal plates He did not have the start of the season that he wanted, after a dream summer with Spain. On Wednesday night it appeared that his father, Mounir Nasraoui, had been the victim of a stabbing.
Understandably, his 17-year-old son was very worried after finding out the news, but was calmed down after being able to speak with Nasraoui on the phone. Sport say that the unofficial fixer of Barcelona Alejandro Echevarria was next to the family in the hospital to offer everything that was needed.
De Jong's ankle is still not good. His return date is unknown and he will not be available for Flick for the first games of the season. @fansjavimiguel

Nasraoui was admitted to the hospital in a serious condition, but was stabilized. He will remain in the hospital for the next few days under observation, and will be moved out of the intensive care unit. A good sign was that Lamine Yamal trained as normal on Thursday morning, and was surrounded by the affection and support of the team as a result. Although not the most important, it looks like he will remain available for Hansi Flick in Barcelona's league debut against Valencia on Saturday night.
Three people have been arrested in connection with the stabbing, with a fourth wanted. It is believed that the reason came from a fight that happened hours before in his hometown of Mataro, which saw Nasraoui and the assailants separated by police. The attack happened later in a parking lot that evening.
