Lamine Yamal has had an injury-hit season, and is now out injured yet again.

Lamine Yamal has been ruled out of the Atletico Madrid clash, and Hansi Flick is backing his replacement to step up.

He said: “We have to accept that he is injured and will not be able to play. Someone else will play.

“There are different options. The decision has not been made. We have to wait until tomorrow.

“I gave them two days off this week because they hadn’t had a break for weeks. Everyone needs it. We had good training sessions yesterday and today. It was the right decision.”

Hansi Flick also asked for massive support from Barca fans ahead of this game.

He said: “We haven’t talked about this. Against Atlético, the fans will be there. We will have support, as always. But it’s important that we do well on the pitch.”
