  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Barcelona boss provided a positive update on Yamal's fitness, claiming he expects the 17-year-old to return during their upcoming Supercopa de Espana semi-final against Athletic Club on January 8. The Catalan giants resumed action on Saturday after a brief winter break as they thrashed Barbastro 4-0 in a Copa del Rey round of 32 clash.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Yamal went off injured in his side's match against Leganes in December. He then jetted off to the United Arab Emirates, alongside a cousin and a friend, to relax and work out in the gym as part of his recovery process. The teenager is slowly regaining his fitness and could play a small part against Athletic Club in midweek.

• WHAT FLICK SAID

  Speaking to reporters, the German coach said: "We travel on Monday, we train on Monday in Barcelona and on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia. That's all we have before that game. I think Lamine could be in the game against Athletic."
