Young talent Lamine Yamal is expected to be fit enough to join the El Clasico clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Marca reports. This is seen as a positive development during a difficult phase for the home team at Camp Nou.
According to Marca, despite conflicting reports about his fitness, Lamine Yamal is making good progress in recovery and could return just in time for Barcelona’s El Clasico against Real Madrid, scheduled at 22:15 on October 26 (Vietnam time).
The 18-year-old player is still undergoing treatment for a recurring groin injury sustained after the Champions League match against PSG. This issue forced him to miss the La Liga match against Sevilla and withdraw from Spain’s national team training camp in October.
Sources from Marca indicate that if there are no complications during recovery, Lamine Yamal might even play in the match against Girona right after the international break. This would mean he would be ready for two important upcoming matches against Olympiacos in the Champions League and Real Madrid in La Liga.
Yamal’s return is regarded as a significant boost for Barcelona, especially as the team is currently struggling with injuries. The absence of many key players has made coach Hansi Flick’s tactics ineffective, resulting in two consecutive defeats against PSG and Sevilla. Both losses have exposed clear weaknesses in attack, where Barcelona lacks creativity and speed on the wings.
At just 18, Lamine Yamal has already proven to be one of Barcelona’s greatest hopes. He has impressed not only with his individual skills and ability to create chances but also with remarkable maturity in his play. If he returns in time, Yamal promises to bring fresh energy to the Catalan club’s offense and add intensity to the always dramatic El Clasico. Given Real Madrid’s current form, Barcelona urgently needs a player who can make a difference and lift the team’s spirit at the right moment.
Will Lamine Yamal’s comeback be enough to help Barcelona turn the tide against Real Madrid in the upcoming El Clasico?
