Hansi Flick talked about Lamine, Szczesny and more

Hansi Flick: “Lamine Yamal will get minutes tomorrow for sure. Whether as a starter or a substitute, he is going to play. I think he is completely ready, there is no risk of a relapse.

It’s not normal that we have so many injuries, but these things happen. We will see what we can do to find out if there is any reason behind it.”

Wojciech Szczesny?
“Wojciech Szczesny is back. In the second half of last season, we won almost every game with him and secured three titles. He is a fantastic goalkeeper, and I have no doubts about him.”

Is Montjuïc ready?

“ I hope so. I’m sure the workers at the stadium did a great job and finished everything quickly. We will see tomorrow, but I think it is in good condition.”

“We want to show the fans the same style we played with last season. Regardless of the injuries we have, we are focused on the players who are available.”

Rotations tomorrow with PSG in mind?

“Our focus is always on the next match, which now is against Sociedad. Then we will see how we prepare for the PSG game. We have four consecutive wins and we need to keep going like this.”

Do you prefer that Lamine rests or goes with Spain?
“That is not my job, that is the task of the Spanish national team coach. If he decides to call him up, that is his decision.”

“Real Sociedad has a clear style of play, they want to build from the back, and up front they have a great striker. We also have very good players. This is an opportunity to show how strong we are.”

Busquets’ retirement and the treble he won?
“I don’t look at the past, but I think everyone enjoyed that Barça generation, with that incredible midfield. I value it a lot.”

“We are all convinced that this is the right moment for Lamine’s return, and we are happy that he is an option for us tomorrow.”

“Opportunities for Toni Fernández? I think it’s good for him to train and play with the best. Every week he learns and develops in a great team. He is an option to play. He wasn’t playing in recent games, but he is available, and he is a good option.”

The Madrid derby?
“I think I’ll watch it. I watch many games. They are two fantastic teams, and I’m really looking forward to seeing this one.”
