It's been almost three weeks since Lamine Yamal injured his ankle during Barcelona's 1-0 home defeat to Leganes. His absence was felt against Atletico Madrid before the winter break, and his dependence on Hansi Flick's side is underlined by the fact that they are yet to win a match he has not started this season.
Lamine Yamal has been training all winter break in the hope of getting fit as quickly as possible, and he is doing well. According to Diario AS, he will be involved in group training during Thursday's session as he continues to achieve his goal of being available for next week's Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Athletic Club.
He won't be risked for this weekend's Copa del Rey match against Barbastro, but barring any setbacks he should be good to make the trip to Saudi Arabia early next week. Barcelona will be happy that his recovery period has gone well, although they will have to ensure that his ankle does not suffer any ill effects when he returns to action.
