😯 Flick slams Spain squad after Yamal injury confirmed | OneFootball

Barcelona's coach, Hansi Flick, gave a press conference this Saturday (13), in which he expressed great disappointment with the Spanish national team, after the confirmation of Lamine Yamal's injury.

The young star of the culés will be absent against Valencia, on Sunday (14), and is also expected to miss the midweek debut in the Champions League, against Newcastle.

Yamal is suffering from discomfort in the pubic region and will be sidelined for an indefinite period, as also confirmed by Barça in a statement.

In the press conference, the German was, let's say, "furious" about the fact that the player had played for the Spanish national team even though he was in pain.

"Yamal was already in pain, he didn't train and was given painkillers to play," he said.

And he continued:

"They had at least a three-goal lead in each game, and he played 73 and 79 minutes. Between the matches, he couldn't train."

"This is not concern for the players. The Spanish national team has the best in the world, but we should worry about the players. The young ones too. This worries me," he added.

When asked if he had spoken with Spain's coach, Luis de la Fuente, about the incident, he responded with irony:

"I didn't speak with the coach, only by message. My Spanish is not good, and his English is not either. The communication could be better. I was a coach and I know how hard it is, but communication needs to be good."

The Catalans face Valencia, without Yamal, this Sunday, at 4pm (Brasília time), for the fourth round of the Spanish Championship.

The team has seven points in three matches and currently occupies the fourth position in the table.
