Barcelona have received a major boost ahead of their Spanish Super Cup clash against Athletic Bilbao, as wonderkid Lamine Yamal has been declared fit and is set to travel with the squad to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia..
Yamal went off injured in his side’s 1-0 loss to Leganes in December, casting doubts over his availability for the tournament’s fixture. However, to the excitement of fans, Barcelona’s boss, Hansi Flick has provided a positive update on the youngster’s fitness, affirming his availability for the match up.
With the forward being sidelined since December, uncertainty looms over his ability to play the full 90 minutes, and his participation will depend on how he progresses in the coming hours.
The Catalan Giants returned to action on Saturday after a brief winter break, where they defeated Barbastro 4-0 in a round 32 clash of the Copa del Rey.
Lamine’s return is expected to provide a morale boost for the team as they look to extend their winning run against Bilbao in their Supercopa de Espana exploits in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, before turning their attention to La Liga where they take on Getafe come Saturday.
