BARCELONA: Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal will miss a second consecutive game due to an ankle injury but manager Hansi Flick on Friday urged the rest of his players to step up in his absence in their LaLiga clash at Celta Vigo this weekend.
The 17-year-old missed their 1-0 loss at Real Sociedad which halted Barca’s seven-match winning streak in all competitions two weeks ago and Flick said that his players need to show that they can win without their teenage sensation.
“Tomorrow I will put the question to the team, it will be a very good question for them (if they can win without Yamal),” Flick told a press conference on Friday.
“Against Real Sociedad we didn’t play well and it wasn’t because of Lamine’s absence. He is a very important player for us, but we have options to also play well without him. (Reuters)
