**VIGO, SPAIN** – Barcelona will be without teenage sensation Lamine Yamal for their away match against Celta Vigo on Saturday. The 17-year-old winger will miss his second consecutive game due to an ankle injury.

Yamal’s absence adds another layer of difficulty to an already challenging fixture. Barcelona’s recent seven-game winning streak ended two weeks ago against Real Sociedad, a match Yamal also missed. The team’s performance has noticeably suffered in his absence or when he hasn’t started.

Despite the setback, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick expressed confidence in his squad’s ability to secure a victory. “No, there is no fear of playing without Lamine,” Flick stated. “He is very important, but we have other players, and we have to adapt.” He emphasized the importance of Yamal’s full recovery, adding, “The important thing is that he returns to 100%.”

Celta Vigo, known for their strong home performances at Balaídos, will present a stern test for the Catalan giants. A win without Yamal would serve as a significant demonstration of Barcelona’s depth and overall strength.
