On the eve of Barcelona vs Girona, the uncertainty surrounding Lamine Yamal is fading, even as Barça faces several key absences.

As Barcelona prepares for their trip to Girona, head coach Hansi Flick has provided an update on the state of his squad. Sidelined with a hamstring injury, Lamine Yamal will not play again this season, but hopes remain high for his return in time for the 2026 World Cup with the Spanish national team.

The German coach offered reassurance regarding the recovery timeline for his prodigy, estimated at between four and six weeks. This window keeps him in contention for a national team call-up, despite a particularly tight schedule.
