Hansi Flick is confident he will have Lamine Yamal in his lineup for Saturday's FC Barcelona vs. Athletic Club match at the Spotify Camp Nou. During Wednesday's training session, the winger completed part of the session with the group, in a session that saw the returns of Jules Koundé and Marcus Rashford as the main news.

The '10', who worked separately on Tuesday, trained normally at the Ciutat Esportiva, after completing the week of rest set following the radiofrequency treatment he underwent last Monday, November 10th, which prevented him from being available for Spain for the matches against Georgia and Turkey

Lamine Yamal wants to extend his scoring streak against Athletic

Barça players celebrating Lamine's goal against Celta

Lamine continues to perform specific exercises to alleviate the pain caused by pubalgia, which he has been dealing with for the last two months, and which has also caused him to miss five matches with Barça in 25/26. The 18-year-old player, however, is confident he will be in good condition to face Athletic, a rival he scored against in the league and Super Cup last season.

For now, Yamal has 6 goals and 5 assists in 11 games (889 minutes), 10 of them as a starter. With Athletic, he also scored a goal in the quarterfinals of the 23/24 Copa del Rey (a 4-2 defeat) and, furthermore, will seek to complete a streak of four consecutive games scoring for the first time with Barça.

The Rocafonda player stirred up the networks against Elche (3-1), Bruges (3-3), and Celta (2-4), although he is still not at one hundred percent physically. Hansi Flick will probably keep him on the field for about 70 minutes on Saturday, where the returns of Raphinha and Joan García are expected

Both have trained normally this week, so it is very likely that they will be included in the squad after being out for 2 months due to injury (both were injured in Oviedo on September 25). Marc Casadó should also return, having missed the match against Celta due to a discomfort during the pre-match warm-up

Koundé and Rashford returned from the international break without physical issues

Wednesday's training session featured Koundé and Rashford as new faces. Both trained on the Tito Vilanova pitch without any muscular issues, having concluded their respective activities with France and England.

The right-back played 89 minutes in the victory against Ukraine (4-0) that sealed France's qualification for the World Cup. Against Azerbaijan (1-3) he remained on the bench, with Malo Gusto being the one chosen by Didier Deschamps to occupy the right side of the French defense.

'Rashy', for his part, **played 65 minutes in England's victory against Serbia (2-0)** and came on in the 75th minute against Albania (0-2), a match where he assisted Harry Kane for the second goal for Thomas Tuchel's side. Marcus should start against Athletic, beyond Raphinha's return, after the Brazilian's long inactivitySo far this season, the Manchester native is the player with the most goal involvements, after scoring 6 goals and providing 8 assists in the 16 matches played by Barça (he started in 13 opportunities).
