Barcelona are reportedly doubtful that Lamine Yamal would be able to return for Saturday’s La Liga match against Celta Vigo, which might require him to spend additional time on the sidelines.

Yamal, Barcelona’s adolescent wonderkid, was knocked out during his team’s Champions League triumph over Red Star Belgrade in October.
As a result, he was forced to sit in the stands and see his normally prolific team lose 1-0 at the Aneota, missing their trip to Real Sociedad.
He was initially just supposed to be out for a few weeks while Spain played Denmark and Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League. Yamal is not expected to make a comeback for Saturday’s league game.
The Spanish daily was informed by a club insider that “it will be difficult for him [Yamal] to arrive on Saturday.”
Without Yamal, Barcelona found it difficult to provide any offensive threat in their loss to Sociedad.
For the first time in 30 games, the club failed to score a goal, as players like Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski were unable to get anything past La Real, reports 90 min.
Hansi Flick, who has yet to win a league game without Yamal, will be devastated by the loss. This season, Barca has lost to Sociedad and Osasuna without the young Spanish player playing.
