Barca ‘optimistic’ Yamal will be fit for Super Cup clash with Athletic
The youngster’s recovery is going well
Barcelona are said to be “optimistic” that Lamine Yamal will have recovered from his ankle injury in time for their Spanish Super Cup clash against Athletic Club.
The teenager was ruled out for “3 to 4 weeks” after sustaining the injury during the team’s shock La Liga defeat to Leganes earlier this month.
However, Yamal’s recovery has gone well and Barca expect him to be available for the game against Ernesto Valverde’s side on January 8 in Saudi Arabia, according to Marca.
Barcelona still plan on being cautious with Yamal, and won’t rush him back, but it seem he may well be able to enjoy some minutes during the game.
Manager Hansi Flick will certainly be happy to have Yamal available once again as he aims to get 2025 off to a good start after a tricky couple of weeks in La Liga.
The winner of Barcelona’s clash against Athletic will take on either Real Madrid or Real Mallorca in the final of the tournament.
