FC Barcelona will have to face Stade Brestois in the Champions League on Tuesday evening at Camp Nou without Lamine Yamal. The 17-year-old prodigy, who was already absent against Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo, remains unavailable due to a persistent ankle injury, as reported by Diario AS.
This injury is a blow for both the Blaugranas and their coach, Hansi Flick, especially considering Yamal has become one of the key players for Barcelona this season. His creativity and explosiveness on the wing will be sorely missed against a confident Brestois side, who have impressed by beating Bayer Leverkusen and RB Salzburg.
Brestois: Ambitions Despite Absences
Under the guidance of coach Eric Roy, Stade Brestois arrives in Catalonia as an unexpected revelation of the Champions League. However, the absence of their captain, Pierre Lees-Melou, who will be sidelined until 2025, weakens their midfield. Despite this, the Bretons are hoping to take advantage of Yamal’s absence and aim for another upset.
A Challenge for Barça
It remains to be seen whether the absence of European champion Lamine Yamal will affect the Blaugranas in their pursuit of three crucial points in the Champions League. Barcelona will need to show the depth of their squad to avoid compromising their European ambitions against an in-form opponent.
