Barcelona Faces Key Test Without Injured Star Lamine Yamal
Coach Hansi Flick challenges his players to adapt as the 17-year-old winger misses another La Liga match due to an ankle injury.
- Barcelona will play Celta Vigo on Saturday without Lamine Yamal, who is sidelined with an ankle injury for the second consecutive game.
- The team has struggled in the two La Liga matches Yamal has not started this season, losing both encounters to Osasuna and Real Sociedad.
- Coach Hansi Flick has emphasized the need for his squad to prove they can win without the teenage sensation, who has been pivotal with five goals and seven assists this season.
- Potential replacements for Yamal include Raphinha, Dani Olmo, and other squad members, though Flick acknowledged the difficulty of replicating Yamal's unique qualities.
- Barcelona sits atop the La Liga standings, six points ahead of Real Madrid, and aims to extend their lead before Madrid's match against Leganes on Sunday.
