"There's talk about Lamine every week. He's doing well. I just spoke with him. He experiences some discomfort on certain days. He's improving and pushing himself. He's progressing well. We talk to him and we do it normally. We're both very honest. I'll always protect him and support him. He's a fantastic guy, very young. We'll continue down this path."
"I think the best way for him to get back to his best right now is to return to where he performs best. In some situations, he can play from the center. The most important thing for him is to touch the ball; that's his strength."
Hansi Flick returned to the podium after missing the previous week's press conference due to suspension and addressed the team's preparation for Sunday's La Liga match against Elche. Lamine Yamal's recent poor El Clasico performance and post-match incidents have drawn attention alongside an ongoing groin problem that has affected his play. Flick reported that Yamal experiences intermittent discomfort but is improving, pushing himself, and receiving honest support and protection from the coaching staff. Flick prefers returning Yamal to the position where he performs best rather than a permanent central shift. Barcelona and Yamal have rejected surgery, opting for conservative treatment and pain-dependent match availability.
