Barcelona attacker ‘likely’ to be dropped to bench vs Real Sociedad | OneFootball

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is looking increasingly likely to be dropped to the bench for the club’s upcoming meeting with Real Sociedad.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who have on Saturday provided an insight into the latest developments behind the scenes in Spain’s capital.

Barca are of course primed to return to action on Sunday night, when they make the trip to Anoeta for the club’s final outing pre-international break.

Amid final preparations for the clash, though, the Blaugrana have been forced to sweat over the status of a number of important players.

One such star comes in the form of the aforementioned Lamine Yamal.

Wide-man Lamine trained separately from the rest of Hansi Flick’s squad on Saturday, struggling with some last-minute fatigue.

And, as per a report from Sport, as much is ‘likely’ to result in the 17-year-old dropping to the bench from the off against Real Sociedad on Sunday evening.
