BARCELONA: Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said Saturday he will “protect” teenage star Lamine Yamal after recent criticism. The 18-year-old winger struggled in the Clasico last weekend as champions Barca fell to a defeat that left them five points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid. Yamal was also in the spotlight for comments before the game insinuating Madrid “steal (and) complain” which riled Los Blancos fans and a big part of the Spanish media. “We speak with him... we are very honest together, he with me and I with him and this is the best way,” Flick told a news conference ahead of Barca’s match against Elche on Sunday in La Liga. “I will always protect him and support him.
MADRID :Barcelona will look to recover from their 2-1 El Clasico defeat by Real Madrid when they host Elche in LaLiga on Sunday, but they will do so without midfielder Pedri, who is set to miss several weeks due to a leg muscle injury.
Pedri cedera setelah diforsir tampil dalam 41 laga beruntun tanpa jeda. Ia terancam absen membela Barcelona hingga lima pekan.
Bulan Desember ini Barcelona bersiap menyambangi Peru untuk melakoni pertandingan friendly, setelah batal menghadapi Villarreal di Miami, Amerika Serikat.
BARCELONA: Raphinha will remain on Barcelona’s injured list and left-back Jules Koundé is doubtful for Sunday’s clasico match, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is ready to play for Real Madrid. Alexander-Arnold was included Saturday on Xabi Alonso’s squad list for the first time since the former Liverpool star hurt his left hamstring in mid-September. That leaves only Antonio Rudiger on Madrid’s injured list. Barcelona were already without Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo and first-choice goalkeeper Joan García due to injuries for the big match. “Of course I’d love to have everyone available, the coach and the team would too, (but) those of us who are fit will give everything and fight for the three points,” Barcelona midfielder Pedri González said. Barcelona had hoped to have Raphinha ready Raphinha has been sidelined for a month after injuring his right leg in late September. Coach Hansi Flick had raised hopes about having his winger back in time for the clasico, but those were dashed a day before the trip to Madrid when assistant coach Marcus Sorg confirmed the Brazil international would not be on the squad. That leaves Barcelona without Raphinha and Lewadowski, two of their top scorers. In the same fixture from last season, the two players combined for three goals in Barcelona’s 4-0 win. Sorg said that Spain forward Ferran Torres also may not be ready to start after recently recovering from a muscle strain.
Real Madrid host Barcelona in the first Clásico of the season on Sunday (stream LIVE at 11:15 a.m. ET on ESPN+ in the U.S.), and both LaLiga giants have had plenty of injury concerns.
Barcelona forward Marcus Rashford said he hopes to remain at the Spanish club beyond his loan spell from Manchester United, describing the move as the change he needed after spending his entire career in England.
