The Spanish Football Federation reacted to Barcelona after Hensi Flick accused the national team of ignoring the possibility of an injury to Lamine Yamal. The young man will not be available for the match against Valence, which caused Flick's anger. However, the Spanish Federation clarified having carried out all the medical examinations necessary for Yamal.
Fulious Flick against the Spanish coach of the Fuente
Barcelona suffered a hard blow before his first home game of the season: the Flick coach announced that Yamal would not be available for the match against Valence this Sunday, after being injured in his international match with Spain.
During the pre-match press conference on Saturday, Flick could not help expressing his anger at this situation. The German did not chew his words and sent his comments to the Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente in a violent diatribe. “Lamine Yamal will not be available. He came with the national team with pain and did not train. They gave him pain relievers to play, “said Flick. They led at least three goals to each match, and he played 73 minutes and 79, without being able to rest between the matches. It is not taking care of him. I am very sad.
According to Sport, sources close to the Spanish national team claim that Barcelona has not communicated any information concerning a possible injury from Yamal upon his arrival in selection. In addition, the team physiotherapist, Fernando Galan, would not have noted any physical problem in the adolescent during routine medical examinations. For his part, Flick admitted during the same press conference that he had few contacts with Fuente since his arrival at the club. However, sources within the RFEF claim that continuous and regular communication exists between the Federation and the Catalans.
When will Yamal come back from injury?
For the moment, the duration of his absence remains indefinite. However, Barça hopes that the emblematic young player will be able to find the form in time for his first Champions League match against Newcastle on Thursday. Otherwise, we can expect him to play at least one role as a replacement during the liga match next weekend against Getafe.
