Yamal Confirms Recovery and Trains with the Team

Lamine Yamal trained with the rest of his teammates on Saturday during Barcelona's second full session. The forward missed the match against Athletic Club due to stomach issues but has now recovered and is available for Sunday's Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid. Yamal's participation in training suggests he is in line to start. Hansi Flick continued to define the starting lineup, and the session began with a reprimand for two players over their recent celebrations. Eric García, who celebrated his 25th birthday on January 9, and Swedish player Roony Bardghji, who was officially registered with the first team on the same day after playing the first half of the season with the B team, will wear the number 19 jersey starting this Sunday. Flick also took two minutes to address his players before the session began. The session also included German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, who rejoined the squad after leaving on January 6 to undergo tests on his knee, which ultimately ruled out any injury. It was a round trip to Barcelona for a goalkeeper who, although he will not play (Joan García will start unless there is a last-minute change), wanted to be with his teammates for the classic that will decide the season's first trophy.
