The attacker did specific work inside the sports complex, separated from the rest of his teammates during the session led by the coaching staff. However, sources from the Catalan club indicated that the absence of the footballer in training is not due to a serious injury and that he is expected to be available for the match against the Bilbao team. Barcelona continues to fine-tune its preparation for the commitment in Saudi territory, where it will seek to advance to the final of the tournament, while Yamal’s physical condition will be evaluated until hours before the match. The young forward has been one of the standout players of the team this season and his possible presence in the starting eleven represents a relevant factor for the azulgrana coach’s approach against Athletic Club.
