FC Barcelona – Spain: Lamine Yamal, the new source of tension!

Spain – FC Barcelona: Lamine Yamal reignites the war!

According to the Spanish press, Luis de la Fuente is expected to call up Lamine Yamal this Friday, barely a week after his return from injury. This decision could further inflame the already strained relationship between the Spanish Football Federation and FC Barcelona. After suffering a groin injury during the last international break, the 18-year-old prodigy has only played an hour and a half since his comeback for the club. This situation has raised concerns within the Catalan staff, who would have preferred to handle him with care. But the Spanish national team coach remains adamant: the national team takes priority, even if it means upsetting the Blaugrana.

Barcelona stands firm against La Roja

The way the Yamal case is being handled is crystallizing tensions. Barça points out that the player returned from his previous international duty in a weakened state and under medical treatment, which led to an official complaint to the Federation. Hansi Flick, who has already voiced public criticism, fears a relapse, especially since his attacking jewel is indispensable. On the Roja side, they insist that Yamal is fit and remains a vital part of the project. But concerns are mounting in Catalonia, where there are fears that this new call-up for the matches against Georgia and Bulgaria could spark another institutional showdown. Torn between the desire to protect a key player and national obligations, the fault line seems sharper than ever.
