Following his recent injury, Barcelona is carefully preparing Lamine Yamal’s comeback to action. AS says that the team hopes to gradually reintegrate him into the squad, maybe starting him off the bench in their next game against Celta Vigo.

In fact, he might play in that match for 20 to 25 minutes if his recuperation goes as planned.

Due to Yamal’s rising significance to the squad, his absence from the last two La Liga games coincided with losses, making his condition a major concern at Barcelona.

His recuperation has therefore become a top priority, particularly with the Celta Vigo game less than a week away.

His recovery is progressing well at the moment. He no longer feels pain in his right ankle when moving thanks to a protective bandage.

But considerable soreness still exists without the bandage, especially in the area surrounding the fibula. His progress is being constantly monitored by the medical personnel, and following more testing during training sessions next week, a more definitive evaluation of his preparedness will be made.

Declaring him fit to accompany the club to Balaidos is the tentative plan. He is unlikely to start the game, though, because of Barcelona’s cautious attitude.

In order to control his workload and reduce the chance of re-injury, the coaching staff—led by Hansi Flick—is anticipated to introduce him as a replacement.

Yamal’s possible comeback gives Barcelona a big boost. The team has struggled to replace the creative spark he brings to the field, thus his absence has been felt deeply.

Even if he just plays a small role, his participation is encouraging for the club and fans who are anxious to see the young player play again. Barcelona is hoping that his comeback will signal a change in their recent performance.
