According to El Chiringuito, Lamine Yamal suffered from muscle pain, almost limping with an unpleasant expression, when leaving the field in the Barca 1-2 PSG match in the Champions League early yesterday morning (October 2). That made Hansi Flick and Barca worried.

The young star has just returned from a groin injury he suffered while playing for Spain last month, missing four matches and the match against PSG was the first time Lamine Yamal returned to Barca's starting lineup.

Despite concerns from the Catalan team, captain La Fuente still included Lamine Yamal in the Spanish team's list for FIFA Days this October, preparing for two 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Bulgaria and Georgia.

Coach La Fuenta's decision could cause more conflict with Barca, because last time Hansi Flick criticized the 'exhaustion' of Lamine Yamal in the Spanish national team, especially the injection of painkillers to allow this player to play.

In response to public concern, Spain's head coach, Fuente, once again responded harshly to Hansi Flick and Barca: " The Spanish team has two important matches ahead, fighting for a ticket to the 2026 World Cup. That is the most important thing, everything else is secondary.

I have no problem with Hansi Flick. He was in charge of the German national team and I think he has some sympathy for the national team coaches. I was surprised that Hansi Flick said that. But whatever, everyone can say whatever they want .

The coach also declared that he would not risk using Lamine Yamal if the player was not well: “ We do not accept any risks. Everyone comes here healthy. And if they play, it is because they are fit, and if they leave, it is because we see that they cannot play.

If Lamine Yamal plays for Barca, he can also come here and play for Spain. This is normal.

I speak to Lamine Yamal regularly. We have reports from the clubs and I speak to them at the training camp before assessing everything.

With Lamine Yamal, we will see how Barca plays against Sevilla this weekend, then we will decide whether to keep him at the club or still call up the Spanish national team ."

Spain will host Georgia at 1:45 a.m. on October 12, before meeting Bulgaria three days later.
