One of the major goals for FC Barcelona this season is to do well in the UEFA Champions League. However, their first challenge in that competition arrives in the form of Newcastle United.
As confirmed through their UCL schedule, this will be an away game for the Catalan giants and one that will undoubtedly be a tough one to win. Unfortunately, however, Barça might have to play this upcoming game without one of their best players.
According to Javi Miguel, 18-year-old Barça winger Lamine Yamal is practically ruled out for the game against Newcastle United. This could end up being a big blow for La Blaugrana, considering the impact that Yamal can have on any game.
This news comes shortly after Hansi Flick himself confirmed that the youngster will miss the upcoming game against Valencia. Now, it seems that the €200 million-rated player, as per his Transfermarkt valuation, is a doubt for the clash against Newcastle United as well.
While he is not guaranteed to miss that game unlike the one against Valencia, Barcelona will still need to keep a close eye on his recovery. After all, when Yamal is fully fit and available, he can completely turn the tables in any game that he plays in.
