A shadow of concern fell over Barcelona’s decisive victory against Valencia, stemming not from the match itself but from a significant absence before it even began.

The worrying news of Lamine Yamal’s last-minute withdrawal left a palpable void, and while the team delivered a commanding performance without their young star, the challenge is far from over.

The focus now sharply shifts to a daunting Champions League trip to face Newcastle at a hostile St. James’ Park. Despite the resounding win, Hansi Flick’s side must now prepare for this crucial European fixture with the same key piece missing from their arsenal.

According to emerging reports, while the player’s physical state is showing positive signs of recovery, any hope of him making the journey to England has been all but extinguished.

The larger, more anxious question now hanging over the club is the uncertain timeline of his return, leaving his absence as an open-ended concern for the challenges that lie ahead.
