Issues for Hansi Flick ahead of Saturday's match against Celta at Balaídos. Although he will be able to count on Robert Lewandowski and Eric García again, who are expected to rejoin training with the group this Thursday, the news about Lamine Yamal is not entirely encouraging.
The pain in his right ankle persists, which currently makes his participation in Saturday's match almost ruled out.
It is worth noting that the player suffered an ankle knock during the Champions League match in Belgrade against Red Star, which already prevented him from playing against Real Sociedad, despite being included in the squad, as well as being on the Spanish national team list. According to the medical report issued by the Catalan club, he was diagnosed with a "grade one injury in the syndesmosis of the right ankle", with an estimated recovery time of "two to three weeks".
Initially, the two-week absence would align for the Celta match, but now the focus is on the Champions clash against Brest on November 26, and even the next game against Las Palmas at Montjuïc on November 30, coinciding with the three-week recovery period.
