Lamine Yamal's groin injury is more complicated than initially feared.
This is stated by Barcelona's coach Hansi Flick.
I talked to him today. It's better, but not good, says Flick.
The Spanish attacking star was expected to be back in time for El Clásico against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu on October 26, but he will probably have to wait longer to play again.
Flick blames the Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente for the injury.
Yamal took painkillers to be able to play the World Championship qualifiers against Bulgaria and Turkey in September, something Flick criticized.
I don't regret it, I want to protect my players. But it's done, the most important thing now is that we can handle it together, club and association, says Flick.
