“He will return as soon as he feels 100% good and fit,” said the former Bayern Munich coach, quoted from Fabrizio Romano’s account, Friday (22/11).
This season, Yamal formed a deadly trio with Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, which led Barcelona to win 14 of 17 matches.
From the 16 matches he played, Yamal collected six goals and eight assists.
His brilliant performance brought the Blaugrana to the lead in the La Liga standings with a six-point advantage over Real Madrid and in sixth place in the Champions League with nine points from four matches. (Ant/Z-1)

**Interview with Sports Analyst: Hansi Flick’s Decision to Rest Lamie Yamal**
**News Editor**: Thank you for joining us today, [Alex Reed Name]. Recently, Hansi Flick, the coach of the national team, announced his decision to rest rising star Lamie Yamal in upcoming matches. What are your thoughts on this choice?
**Alex Reed**: Thank you for having me! I think Flick’s decision is quite strategic. Lamie Yamal has been under intense scrutiny and pressure since breaking into the national team. Giving him a break could be beneficial for his long-term performance and development.
**News Editor**: That makes sense. Given Yamal’s contributions so far, do you think this might affect the team’s dynamics or performance in the upcoming matches?
**Alex Reed**: It could have mixed effects. On one hand, Yamal has brought a fresh energy and creativity to the squad. On the other hand, resting him might give other players the opportunity to step up and showcase their skills. It’s key for Flick to maintain team morale, so balancing his lineup carefully is crucial.
**News Editor**: Flick’s management style has often been praised. How do you think he balances the need to rest players with the necessity of winning games?
**Alex Reed**: It’s a delicate balance. Flick understands that while winning is important, player health and morale are equally critical for a sustainable team performance. By resting Yamal, Flick sends a message that he prioritizes long-term growth over short-term gains, which can foster a more resilient team culture.
**News Editor**: Lastly, what should we expect from Lamie Yamal after his rest? Do you think this could result in a stronger return?
**Alex Reed**: Absolutely! Time off can help athletes recover physically and mentally. I anticipate that Yamal will come back recharged and ready to contribute even more effectively. This could be a pivotal moment in his career, allowing him to refine his skills and come back stronger.
**News Editor**: Thank you, [Alex Reed Name], for your insights on this important topic. It will be interesting to see how this situation develops in the coming games.
