Hansi Flick says Lamine Yamal close to his best for Barcelona | OneFootball

According to L'Équipe, Hansi Flick has offered a positive update on Lamine Yamal after a spell disrupted by injuries.

Barcelona have opened La Liga with two wins, 5-0 against Elche then 2-0 over Bilbao in midweek, even without Yamal at full tilt.

The 19-year-old, a world champion with Spain this summer, has yet to make a telling contribution this season.

He suffered a hamstring injury in April, and his World Cup in North America did not fully showcase his talent. Flick noted that Yamal played the tournament after a serious setback, returned from three weeks off, and accepted that the winger’s first outing might not have been his best.

Barcelona host Rayo Vallecano on Monday at 21:30 in matchday three.
