Unfortunately for Barbastro, Yamal is not expected to participate in the match due to an ankle injury, which means fans will have to wait to see him back in action on the field.
While Barcelona hopes for Yamal‘s swift recovery, the team is cautious and aims not to rush him back into play, especially with the upcoming Spanish Super Cup match against Athletic Club looming.
The lineup that Hansi Flick will present for the game against Barbastro is anticipated to spark interest among fans and analysts alike. This game offers a valuable opportunity for squad rotation, but Flick is aware that Barbastro will undoubtedly provide a formidable challenge.
