Barcelona receive massive boost as key winger is now set to be available against Atletico Madrid – Report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona will be facing off against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey soon. However, knowing how big of a match this is, the Catalan giants will not be willing to take any kind of risks. Hansi Flick, for that reason, will want his Barcelona team to be at their best.

Moreover, with this game being a semi-final for La Blaugrana, it is already a massive fixture. Beyond just the known quality of Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid side, this game is one that will be taking place at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium.

With the game being at home, Barcelona will be hoping to get a good result that they can build on in the second leg as well. However, ahead of the game itself, the Catalan giants received some bad news as Spanish winger Lamine Yamal was injured in his last outing against UD Las Palmas.

As a result of that injury, the 17-year-old winger could not even participate in one of the recent training sessions. With that update, there was a lot of skepticism about whether or not the player would even be able to take part in this upcoming fixture.

Fortunately, as per Helena Condis, the player will be completely fine and he will be ready to take part. While it is still not known if he will start the game or not, it is now being reported that the Barcelona forward will be able to play in the game and that Hansi Flick can count on him.

This will be great news for Barcelona, as Lamine Yamal’s presence is something that the team always has to count on. After all, he is a player who can be a game-changer for the team at a moment’s notice and that kind of quality is always welcome in such games.

For now, Hansi Flick can expect to field a strong starting eleven for this game and Barcelona know that victory will be the only result worth making anything of. This is not a league game, so no matter what, victory is what must be targeted at all costs and Lamine Yamal’s availability will undoubtedly help in that regard.
