Lamine Yamal misses training and could be in doubt against Atlético

Barça striker Lamine Yamal has missed Monday's training session prior to the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Atlético de Madrid. He did not come onto the pitch at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper as a precaution. During the match against Las Palmas, the 17-year-old winger received a hard stomp in the 59th minute, with the instep being the most affected area.

In fact, the footballer himself shared a story on Instagram after the match in which his bloody sock could be seen as a result of the blow received on his nail. The player from Rocafonda joked about the fact that the referee did not signal anything for that action and added some laughing emojis: “It is not a foul.”

Although his absence suggests that he could be a doubt for Tuesday's match at Montjuïc, the club wants to be cautious and believes that the decision not to train on Monday as a precaution could help mitigate the impact of the incident suffered on Saturday. After training, Hansi Flick is expected to give more details on the matter at the press conference.
