Mundo Deportivo newspaper revealed the position of Lamine Yamal regarding his participation with Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
The 17-year-old suffered a sprained ankle in the match against Leganes on December 15, and initial indications suggested that he would miss the Super Cup.
However, things are going very positively for Yamal at the moment, as the pain has disappeared, and he is ready to participate in group training in the coming days.
The Spanish player will undergo examinations on Sunday and Monday to determine his medical condition and ensure that his ankle is largely safe.
In principle, Yamal is expected to be ready to participate against Athletic Bilbao on January 9, although it is most likely that he will not be risked and will participate for a few minutes in the match.
If Barcelona succeeds in reaching the final, Yamal will certainly be ready to face the winner of the Real Madrid and Mallorca match.
Yamal’s return is of great importance to Barcelona, as the promising star is one of the most contributors to goals this season with Hansi Flick’s squad, scoring 6 goals and creating 12 others in 21 matches in all competitions.
