Flick confirms that Lamine Yamal will have minutes against Real Sociedad

Hansi Flick has cleared up doubts about the physical condition of Lamine Yamal. The German coach confirmed in a press conference that the young winger of Fútbol Club Barcelona will return to the squad against Real Sociedad and that he will enjoy minutes in the match this Sunday at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

After several weeks of absence due to pubalgia, the 18-year-old forward posted on social media that he already feels recovered. Flick corroborated these sensations and announced that the youth player will participate in the seventh matchday of LaLiga EA Sports 2025/26.

The return of Lamine Yamal, a relief for the Blaugrana infirmary

Barça faces the match against the San Sebastian team with numerous confirmed absences, but the return of Lamine Yamal is an injection of offensive talent at a key moment in the season. The '10' of FC Barcelona missed the last matches due to discomfort in the pubis, which had generated concern in the coaching staff and the fans.

In this context, the recovery of the winger is great news for Hansi Flick, who had already warned of the need to recover players after the recent injuries of Joan García and Raphinha. With Yamal available, the team gains overflow, speed and creativity in the final third.

Flick does not comment on the Spanish national team

Asked about the possibility of Lamine returning to a call-up with the Spanish national team, Flick preferred to remain on the sidelines: “It is not my job, it is the coach's. It's his decision.” In this way, the Blaugrana coach avoided commenting on Luis de la Fuente's management of the Barcelona star.
