🤔 Rotate against Espanyol? Lamine Yamal a doubt, De Jong in | OneFootball

Lamine Yamal suffered a muscle overload in the last few hours and is a doubt for Barcelona vs Espanyol.

Barcelona-Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League was a match that drained the players of both teams.

In Atlético de Madrid’s case, there will be plenty of rotations; but for Barcelona, Real Madrid’s slip-up against Girona could also change everything in Hansi Flick’s starting XI.

One of the players who could be dropped to the bench for the Catalan derby against Espanyol is Lamine Yamal.

'SPORT' reports that the Spain international winger left Friday’s training session with discomfort and a muscle overload. Although he now seems to be fine.

Because of this, Hansi Flick will decide in the hours before the match whether to give him a rest and save him for the Champions League second leg at the Metropolitano.

For now, he has been included in the squad for the match. A squad in which Frenkie De Jong’s return is the big news.
