Lamine Yamal sends public message to Barcelona teammate Raphinha | OneFootball

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has taken to social media this weekend, to send a message of encouragement the way of teammate and attacking partner Raphinha.

This of course comes with the latter remaining sidelined, owing to a hamstring injury suffered all the way back in September.

Barcelona have sorely missed the influence of their wing standout, not only from an attacking standpoint, but from a leadership one, too.

Lamine Yamal, in turn, has this weekend taken to social media to urge Raphinha to return to the pitch as soon as possible:

Raphinha will again play no part later this evening, when Barcelona see out their schedule pre-international break in a La Liga meeting with Celta Vigo.

Lamine Yamal, on the other hand, is expected to feature from the off on the right flank at Balaídos.

Hansi Flick’s Blaugrana could find themselves heading into the fixture a full eight points adrift of arch rivals Real Madrid atop the table, ahead of Los Blancos’ meeting with Rayo Vallecano this afternoon.
