Hansi Flick blows up story about special treatment for Lamine Yamal from Deco and club – ‘It’s bulls***’

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has given a fiery response to a story of special treatment afforded to Lamine Yamal in recent weeks. The 18-year-old forward has appeared just twice in the last six weeks, the second time playing 90 minutes against Paris Saint-Germain, since which he has not been seen.

Lamine Yamal has been absent since the September international break with a groin problem, which Flick said that he aggravated while on Spain duty at the time. The teenage forward played the final half hour of their clash against Real Sociedad on the 28th of September, and then played 90 minutes against PSG three days later, but missed their defeat to Sevilla and Spain’s matches due to a relapse of the injury.
