As Barcelona approach the business end of the season, two young forwards find themselves in completely different ends of the spectrum when it comes to game time: Lamine Yamal plays every single minute of every game, and Ansu Fati can’t play at all.
Yamal’s playing time at the age of 17 is certainly a cause for concern, and fans are screaming for the teenager to get at least one game of rest in the middle of Barça’s crazy upcoming schedule.
Hansi Flick was asked in a press conference on Saturday if that rest could come in Sunday’s La Liga match against Girona, and his answer didn’t seem to indicate Yamal will be on the bench as the coach is apparently leaving the decision up to the player himself.
