Barcelona are set to adopt a cautious approach with young star Lamine Yamal as he continues his recovery, with the club unwilling to take any risks that could lead to a relapse.
The 17-year-old will not feature in the upcoming Champions League match against Newcastle, and his involvement against Getafe or Oviedo also remains uncertain. Barça’s medical team and coaching staff are prioritizing a full recovery rather than rushing him back onto the pitch.
The ultimate objective is to have Yamal at 100% fitness for Barcelona’s crucial Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain. Given the teenager’s importance to Xavi’s plans, the club believe it is better to sacrifice short-term availability than jeopardize his long-term health and form.
Yamal has already established himself as one of Barça’s most influential attackers despite his age, and his absence will be felt. However, ensuring he is fully ready for the PSG clash is considered the bigger priority for the Catalan giants.
