Flick names three new faces for Mestalla as Lamine remains a doubt | OneFootball

Hansi Flick has named three new faces in his squad for Sunday’s match at Mestalla, goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, forward Gabriel Jesús and academy product Gavi. According to AS, Livakovic and Gabriel Jesús receive first call-ups, while Gavi returns after a knee knock suffered against Elche.

There is a major doubt over Lamine Yamal, who did not train on Saturday and worked in the gym instead. Flick said a meeting with the forward is pending to decide whether he plays. In principle, he is expected to be in the starting XI.

Rodri could also make his first start, alongside Pedri, recalling La Roja’s midfield that went on to win the World Cup.

The list includes only one B-team player, Egyptian striker Hamza. There are 22 first-team players, including Xavi Espart and Brian Fariñas, both registered as seniors.

Joan García, Szczesny, Livakovic, Koundé, Eric, Cubarsí, Christensen, Gerard, Cancelo, Balde, Espart, Rodri, Pedri, Olmo, Fermín, Fariñas, Bernal, Gavi, Lamine, Raphinha, Gordon, Adeyemi, Gabriel Jesús and Hamza will travel to Valencia.
