Barcelona Concerns Ahead of Valencia Clash: Lamine Yamal Trains Separately, Flick Faces Dilemma

Flick confirmed that Yamal would travel with the squad to the Mestalla Stadium, with a decision on his potential involvement in the match to be made later.

"He trained individually, and everything was fine; he'll travel with us tomorrow. He took a knock and was feeling some pain, so we decided it was better for him to train separately. As for tomorrow, I can't yet say if he'll play. We need to decide whether it's better for him to rest or start. I'll speak with him, and we'll make a decision," the German coach was quoted as saying by AFP.

Yamal impressed in Monday's 5-2 victory over Rayo Vallecano, scoring his first two goals of the season. Following Real Madrid's slip-up against Real Betis, Barcelona has an opportunity to solidify their position at the top of La Liga. The Catalans boast three wins and a 12-2 goal difference. Real also has nine points but has played one more match.
