Flick says Lamine Yamal regaining form ahead of Rayo clash

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said Lamine Yamal is finding his way back to his "top level" as the team prepares for Monday’s La Liga encounter with Rayo Vallecano. Yamal, who had a quiet debut against Elche, displayed a better performance against one outlet Bilbao, though he did not find the net. Flick reminded that the winger is still on the recovery path from a hamstring problem that sidelined him in April and limited his impact at the World Cup.

He highlighted Yamal’s full-match display in Bilbao and noted a noticeable improvement in his attitude during recent training sessions. Flick also mentioned the squad’s early wins, with Raphinha acting as a makeshift striker, and said there is no pressure while the club continues to seek a permanent forward.
