Barcelona finds itself facing a late fitness concern as Lamine Yamal, the 19-year-old winger, was absent from the team's final training session ahead of their La Liga match against Valencia. The youngster's unexpected absence has raised doubts about his availability for the Catalans' fourth La Liga game of the 2026/27 season. Lamine made an immediate impact for Barcelona in their recent win over Rayo Vallecano, showcasing his talent and becoming one of the team's standout performers.
The German coach will address Lamine's absence during his pre-match press conference, with his condition to be assessed in the coming hours. Lamine was also recently confirmed as one of Barcelona's new vice-captains following a vote among the squad. The situation remains unclear, and his condition over the next few hours will determine whether he can play in the upcoming match at Mestalla.
Barcelona is scheduled to travel to Valencia on Saturday afternoon, aiming to maintain their perfect record and capitalize on Real Madrid's recent points drop.
