Flick He confirmed that he hopes to “continue with the same style, intensity and concentration” last Saturday as he did in Tuesday’s victory against Brest (3-0), and for this the team “has goal” on the duel against Las Palmas regardless of the commitments that await Barcelona in the coming weeks.

“We have decided that the best and those in the best condition will play tomorrow, without worrying so much about the minutes,” explained the coach when asked for which central defender Iñigo Martínez could rest at the start this Saturday.

## Barcelona’s⁣ Rising Star⁣ Returns: An Interview with⁢ Football Expert

**World-Today-News.com**

**Barcelona**, Spain ⁣- Excitement⁤ is brewing in Barcelona as young winger Lamine Yamal prepares​ too make his ​return from injury this ‍Saturday against Las Palmas. The 16-year-old prodigy,who has lit up La⁢ Liga with his electrifying pace and skill,has been sidelined for the past three games ‌due to an ankle ⁤injury.

To shed light on Yamal’s return and its potential impact‌ on the match, we spoke with renowned football analyst and ​former professional footballer, **Carlos Gonzalez**.

**World-Today-News.com:** Carlos, Lamine Yamal’s return is fantastic news for Barcelona. How notable is‌ this for the team, especially after his absence?

**Carlos Gonzalez:** ⁢It’s massive. Yamal brings a unique dimension to Barcelona’s attack.‍ His dribbling ‌ability, vision, and fearlessness in taking on defenders make ​him a ​constant threat.

His absence was ‍felt, especially in‌ games where Barcelona struggled to break down stubborn defenses. Having him back​ will inject a much-needed dose of creativity and‍ unpredictability into their play.

**World-Today-News.com:** Hansi Flick ‍hasn’t confirmed whether Yamal will start. Do you think he should be thrown‍ straight back into ‌the starting XI?

**Carlos‍ Gonzalez:** ‌That’s a tough call. While Yamal’s talent is undeniable, he’s still young and coming back from injury.

Flick needs ⁢to consider ⁣his fitness levels and how‌ long he can sustainably perform at a high intensity. A cautious approach, perhaps ⁤starting ‌him on the bench and bringing⁣ him on later in the game, ‍might ⁢be the best option.

**World-Today-News.com:** How do you think ​Las Palmas ‌will approach the game knowing Yamal is⁤ back?

**Carlos Gonzalez:** Las Palmas certainly wouldn’t want‌ to face Yamal at full strength. I imagine thay’ll try ⁢to be physically imposing, double-team‌ him when he receives the ball and try ⁣to disrupt his rhythm.

However, Yamal is a clever player and can find ways to create space and opportunities even under pressure.

**World-Today-News.com:** What are your predictions for the game?

**carlos Gonzalez:** barcelona are the clear favorites, especially with Yamal back in the mix. They have a strong squad and will be looking to bounce back from their​ recent draw.

But Las Palmas are a tough team⁣ at home and ⁣will make ​things difficult.

I see Barcelona winning, ‌possibly by a narrow ‌margin, with Yamal playing⁤ a key role in⁣ the outcome.

**World-Today-News.com:** Thank you for your insights, Carlos! We wish Yamal⁣ and Barcelona all the best​ for the upcoming⁤ match.
