Flick talks Lamine, Balde, Gavi, Raphinha, Bernal, Roony ahead of Getafe vs Barcelona FC Barcelona will be aiming to take a step closer towards lifting the La Liga title when they take on Getafe tomorrow afternoon at Coliseum Alfonso Perez. The Blaugrana have a nine-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid, although that could be cut down to six with the Spanish capital club facing Real Betis later tonight. So, Barcelona will be keen on ensuring that their healthy lead remains intact, allowing them to strengthen their grip on the title.
Ahead of the trip to Getafe to take on Jose Bordalas’ side, Barça manager Hansi Flick spoke to the media, addressing several topics, including Lamine Yamal’s season-ending injury . Kicking things off, Flick apologised to the reporters for arriving late to the press conference, before highlighting the challenge of facing Getafe. “It’s tough playing against Getafe because they defend very well; they have their own philosophy.
The important thing is to find our rhythm and not make mistakes,” he said. On Lamine Yamal’s injury The talk immediately moved to Lamine’s hamstring injury, which has ruled him out for the remainder of the season. “It’s not easy for him or for us.
We have to manage it. He’ll learn from his first muscle injury. He’ll surely be ready for the World Cup and will come back stronger,” Flick noted.
Explaining how the teenage superstar suffered the injury against Celta Vigo, he elaborated: “He felt something after the penalty foul, but nothing serious, so we decided he’d take it. It was his first muscle injury, and that’s why it’s not easy to interpret the signals the body can give. “He’ll learn because he’s very young.
