The Forward of Barcelona, Lamine Yamal, supposedly did not take part in the last full training session of the team before organizing Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening and his participation in the Copa del Rey semi-final was very doubtful.
Yamal was not from his best side during the tedious journey from Barcelona to Las Palmas on Saturday evening and often set a frustrated figure when he was confronted with the robust approach by the hosts. The teenager still managed to create the opening that led to Dani Olmos in the second half, which finally turned out to be 2-0 victory.
After the game, Yamal published a picture of a blood -soaked sock on social media with the news: “It is not a foul” – a great criticism of the referee’s decision to overlook a particularly powerful tackle. Just a few days earlier, he had passionately defended La Liga’s officers.
Barcelona held a training course on Monday morning as part of her final preparation for attending Atletico, but Yamal was not involved, according to Yamal. SPORT. The Spanish publication showed that the 17-year-old was forced to work individually in the gym in order to further damage the foot.
However, this injury was described as “small setback”, and Yamal is expected to occur in a way against Atletico. Hansi Flick will be desperate that his amazing winger is fit enough to start on Tuesday evening.

The Catalan giants were impressed against the Spanish opposition without Yamal on six different occasions this season. Barcelona’s only victory in this sequence was against the fourth UD Barbastro in the third round of the Copa del Rey.
While Celta Vigo earned a 2-2 draw, Osasuna, Real Sociedad, Las Palmas and her upcoming opponents Atletico Madrid all defeated a Yamal-Weniger Barcelona this season.
The Go Simeone’s title challenger achieved a 2-1 win when they faced the league last December when Yamal failed with an ankle injury and ended an astonishing sequence of Catalan heart pain for the legendary Argentine coach. Simeone had never hit Barcelona on 17 earlier trips to northeastern Spain on her home square.
The collision on Tuesday with Atletico is the first half of a two-legged Copa del Rey semi-final, with the back in Madrid in Madrid on Wednesday, April 2.
