<\/p>\n\n\nSant Joan Desp\u00ed (Barcelona) (EFE).- Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has confirmed that forward Lamine Yamal will be out for this Sunday’s match against Valencia and is doubtful for next Thursday’s match against Newcastle due to discomfort in his pubic area, and has criticized the management of Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente.\n\n\n

He went to the national team with pain and was given painkillers to play. He played more than 70 minutes in each match, even with a three-goal lead. This is not taking care of the players. Spain has the best team in the world and good players in all positions. Perhaps it is worth taking care of the young players. I am very sad about this,” the German coach has stated.\n\n\n Communication with the Spanish national team “could improve”<\/p>\n\n\n Finally, Flick has assured that Valencia’s coach, Carlos Corber\u00e1n, has done “a fantastic job” that last season managed to “stabilize the team”. “He is a coach who adapts a lot to the opponent and has interesting players. It’s a great team”, he has concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sant Joan Desp\u00ed (Barcelona) (EFE).- Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has confirmed that forward Lamine Yamal will be out for this Sunday’s match against Valencia and is doubtful for next Thursday’s match against Newcastle due to discomfort in his pubic area, and has criticized the management of Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente.

This setback comes after Lamine Yamal played 79 and 73 minutes, respectively, in Spain’s victories against Bulgaria (0-3) and Turkey (0-6) on September 4 and 7 in the qualifying phase for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n\nPreviously, the player had completed the three official matches of the season with Bar\u00e7a.\n\nIn this sense, Flick has commented that he has not spoken with De la Fuente -“I hardly speak Spanish and he hardly speaks English,” he has argued-, but he has remarked that communication with the Spanish national team “could improve.”\n\nRegarding the rest of the players, the German coach has confirmed that Frenkie de Jong will not be available due to injury and has announced that midfielder Marc Bernal, who received medical clearance this Saturday after a year out due to a serious knee injury, will be on the bench. “It’s a big step for him in his return process,” he celebrated.\n\nGavi’s situation<\/strong>
He has also referred to the situation of midfielder Pablo P\u00e1ez Gavira ‘Gavi’, who has been out for two weeks due to discomfort in his right knee, the same one he seriously injured in 2023.\n\n“Gavi is the heart of the team, his mentality on the field is incredible, he gives everything for the club. I was afraid of this situation after his long injury. For me, he has to work and strive to see how he evolves. We don’t want to pressure him or rush him. He has to come back in good shape, with confidence in his body,” he detailed.\n\nInstead, Flick has confirmed that the attacker Raphael Dias ‘Raphinha’ is ‘well’ and ‘available’ for Sunday despite having been the last to join the team after his commitments with Brazil -along with Uruguayan Ronald Araujo-, and has opined that the fact of playing this Sunday at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, with a capacity for 6,000 spectators, will not affect the team.\n\n\u201cWe know the club’s situation. The president explains everything to me and I trust him. Tomorrow there are no excuses. We have to focus on ourselves, on winning. It’s a matter of mentality. I trust the players. Perhaps (the return to Camp Nou) is delayed a little longer, but the most important thing is the team,\u201d he analyzed.\n\nPraise for the Valencia coach
In addition, Flick has delved into the message he gave after the draw in the last match against Rayo Vallecano (1-1), when he said that “egos kill success”.\n\n“There are things that happen on the pitch or in the locker room and it’s my job to solve them. I want everyone focused, knowing what they have to do on the field. Playing at 50 or 70% is not enough, that’s what I want to instill. Everyone deserves 100% from the players. That’s why the victories and titles came last season, and we have to return to it,” he explained.\n\n\n
