Four Matches Missed
The young winger, wearing Barça’s number 10 shirt, has been out for the last four matches due to pubis discomfort sustained during international duty with Spain. Missed games: Valencia (6-0), Newcastle (1-2), Getafe (3-0), and Oviedo (1-3).
Ready for Real Sociedad and PSG
Lamine is expected to return to action on Sunday against Real Sociedad (6:30 p.m.), where he may get his first minutes after recovery. The coaching staff hopes to have him at full fitness for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with PSG (9:00 p.m.).
