Hansi Flick has addressed concerns over Lamine Yamal following his injury during Barcelona\u2019s La Liga clash against Celta Vigo at Camp Nou on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yamal had given Barcelona the lead with the only goal of the match in the 39th minute, but shortly after, he went down and requested to be substituted before heading straight to the dressing room\u2014raising concerns among the coaching staff and fans alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking after the match, Flick admitted that the full extent of the injury remains unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will have to see tomorrow what happens. We will have a clear diagnosis and then we\u2019ll know more. We have to accept it\u2014it’s not easy. It\u2019s unfortunate for us because he is a very important player, just like Jo\u00e3o Cancelo. I hope the injury is not too serious, and we will see tomorrow,\u201d Flick said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked about Yamal\u2019s chances of being fit for the upcoming El Cl\u00e1sico, the German coach remained cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have to wait until tomorrow. We need to understand exactly what it is. I believe something happened because he felt it, and after scoring a goal, he wouldn\u2019t leave the pitch without reason. We hope it\u2019s not serious, but we must wait,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flick also revealed that Yamal had informed him of the issue after leaving the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe told me that he felt something, but in the end, we have to wait until tomorrow. I can\u2019t say anything definitive right now because he wasn\u2019t in the dressing room, and he was also outside after the match, so I need to wait,\u201d Flick explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo reported that the initial diagnosis could point to a hamstring tear in the left thigh. If confirmed following medical tests, the injury could sideline Yamal for at least five months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
