After some back pain issues that kept him from playing with Barcelona in Seville and with Spain during this break, Lamine Yamal is improving.

According to ‘AS’, he has improved favorably and will be ready against Girona.

The plan is for him to be a substitute against Míchel’s team and to be at 100% for the ‘Clásico’ against Real Madrid the following week.

In between, there’s Olympiacos, against whom he could start but would not play the entire match.

The treatment he is receiving from the club is progressing well, and he will be medically cleared before next Saturday.

On the other hand, Raphinha and Fermín López will also return against Girona, although we will have to wait for Joan García. The goalkeeper could return against Bruges on November 5th.
