Tue Nov 26 20:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Barcelona’s Flick Confirms Yamal and Balde Out Against Brest

**Barcelona, Spain** – Barcelona manager Hansi Flick confirmed in a press conference that both Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde will miss tomorrow’s crucial Champions League match against Brest.

Yamal, who has already sat out games against Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo, will continue his recovery. Flick expressed confidence that this will be Yamal’s last missed game, hinting at a potential return on Saturday against Las Palmas. “Lamine Yamal’s quality is very good,” Flick stated. “I believe that against Brest will be the last game he misses. Saturday could be an option, but we must wait.”

Balde’s absence, due to muscular problems, leaves a significant gap in the Barcelona defense. Flick confirmed Balde’s improvement but deemed him unfit for tomorrow’s match. Hector Fort, who impressed in the second half of the Celta Vigo game, is expected to fill Balde’s position.

Yamal’s absence is likely to open the door for Gavi, who performed well in Vigo, or potentially Fermín or Pau Victor. The match against Brest is considered vital for Barcelona’s Champions League aspirations.
