Marca: Yamal is expected to return before the national derby, and may even play against Girona as a substitute

October 7 According to Le Marca, Yamal is expected to return in time and play in the Spanish national derby, and the Spanish striker may even return to the arena earlier.

Barca's medical team is going all out to ensure that the injured player can return as soon as possible for head coach Frick to dispatch. Players currently on the injury list include Yamal, Rafinia, Fermin, Garvey, Joan Garcia and Terstegen. Among them, Yamal's recovery has attracted the most attention.

Last week, Frick said at a press conference that there was no guarantee that Yamal would play in the national derby against Real Madrid on October 26, a remark that sparked concerns among fans. However, Yamal is recovering according to a strict recovery plan with the goal of returning to the field as soon as possible. Yamal has the potential to make the roster against Girona, and although it may not play all over the game, it can at least make it as a substitute. If all goes well, he will return to training on October 18 and be ready for the Champions League match against Olympiacos on October 21 and the subsequent national derby.
