Lamine’s progress will determine his availability, but all indications are that the champion of the last Euro Cup with Spain She will also be absent from the national team during the FIFA double-header against Denmark on November 15 and against Switzerland on the 18th.
The truth is that Lamine did not train with the rest of his teammates during the last training session this Saturday. A few minutes later, during a press conference, Flick was enigmatic when asked about Lamine’s condition.but he left aside the need to protect and take care of a player who has logged many minutes so far this season.
“Lamine did specific strength work. He has played a lot of matches in recent weeks and we have to take care of him. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow,” Flick told reporters. Despite everything, the young footballer was included on the team’s roster and accompanied the rest of the expedition to San Sebastian.
The absence of Lamine, who already has six goals and eight assists this season, only complicate Barcelona’s challenge tonight in one of the toughest areas of the league, even if Real are not at their best. The offensive responsibility will fall today more than ever on Raphinha and Lewandowskimainly responsible for the culés’ scoring ability in this first part of the season.
Barça and concern for its players
Lamine’s last-minute exclusion for the Real clash is undoubtedly a reprehensible move by Barcelona, who also eliminated Pau Cubarsí from national team call-up for these November holidays. Luis de la Fuente did not recall the central defender due to his deep cut on his face and Flick lined him up as a starter this Sunday.
Football-related relationships between Barcelona and the Federation They’re not very good at the moment. During the previous truce, the Barça club had already begged the RFEF for the return of Lamine. AND Luis de la Fuente did so.
When the Spanish coach announced last Friday the list of those summoned for this November holidaysDe la Fuente explained that Cubarsí was not included in the call because The Federation ensures the health of footballers and there was no point in taking any chances with the deep cut he had received on his face.
