Barcelona boss Hansi Flick was spotted in a lengthy conversation with Lamine Yamal after the team’s Champions League win over Brest.

Yamal missed out again after being deemed not ready to return following a sprained ankle that has kept him out since the international break.

Flick was asked about the conversation with his child prodigy and said only:

“I told Lamine Yamal that I hope he will be with us on Saturday,” he said. “He will train with us tomorrow.”

The Barcelona boss has already said he hopes Yamal can return against Las Palmas this weekend and it looks like that will be the case.

Flick also spoke about his team’s performance and praised his players.

“Very, very happy. With the three goals…we could have scored more. Coming back from the Vigo game and playing like that is great,” he said.

“The team helps Robert to score these goals. He is responsible, he knows he has to score and he is in the right position to do that. The team is great.”
