Barcelona’s marathon of matches continues on Wednesday when the La Liga leaders welcome Getafe for their fourth game in 10 days since returning from the international break.
Lamine Yamal has started the previous three and played almost all of the minutes in those games, and Barça fans continue to scream for coach Hansi Flick to give the teenage phenom a rest given his age and workload.
There’s a special ask for a rest in this specific matchup: Getafe are known to be the most physical team in the league, and given how Lamine has been targeted by opposing players since the start of the season there’s a real concern that he could be in for some very rough treatment on Wednesday, which combined with a lack of rest could result in an injury.
