An insight into the plans of the coaching staff at La Liga giants Barcelona to cover for the absence of star winger Lamine Yamal in the club’s next outing has been forthcoming online.
The info comes courtesy of Diario Sport, and points towards Hansi Flick preparing to shake things up once more in his frontline.
Barcelona are of course primed to return to action tomorrow evening.
In their Champions League opener, the Blaugrana will make the trip to England, for a meeting with Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United.
Hansi Flick and co, as alluded to above, will again be forced to make do without the contributions of Lamine Yamal for the clash, as the 18-year-old continues his treatment plan for a groin injury.
This past weekend, against Valencia, Barca opted to make use of summer signing Roony Bardghji from the off on the right flank.
The Swede, however, is unlikely to maintain his place at St. James’ Park.
That’s according to Sport, who have revealed that the most likely scenario is that Raphinha will switch to the right wing, allowing Marcus Rashford to maintain his spot on the left.
Robert Lewandowski is also considered the favourite to spearhead the attack, over Ferran Torres.
