Ah, my people! Na wah o! Lamine Yamal, di young superstar wey dey shine for Barcelona, don miss training, and e don raise more than just eyebrows! Na stomach virus wey dey disturb am, no be small matter.
This boy, only 18 years old, don dey fight injury wahala since e join di senior team. Last autumn, e trouble enter di matter when e play for Spain after dem give am painkillers for im groin. Dis one wey dem call pubalgia no be joke oh, e don cause am to miss five matches for Barcelona and two national team camps too.
Even with all dis wahala, Yamal fit still play for 715 out of di last 720 minutes wey Barcelona don dey run. But, as naija sabi say, no condition wey no fit change! Last week, e miss di first training of di year, but come back just in time for di Catalan derby against Espanyol.
Omo, we no fit hear di same good news this week again, as Yamal no show up for training just one day before dem go face Athletic Club for Spanish Super Cup semifinal for Saudi Arabia. Dis one dey cause people dey yarn.
But no worry too much, as reports don confirm say na only stomach virus dey disturb am. Di talk be say, even if e dey feel weak small, dem expect say he go fit join di squad to face Athletic. He still dey top di assist list, most shots and successful dribbles for Europe, so he still get plenty firepower.
Yamal, na im go lead Barcelona as dem dey fight for di Super Cup, and coach Hansi Flick don dey prepare well to grab another trophy. But as him dey arrange di team, e don show concern say di team no dey play like last season. Barcelona don gree no concede goal for more than seven hours now, but di coach wan see improvement for di team defense.
Na confirmed say di Super Cup be di shortest route to trophy, and last year na wetin give Barcelona energy to keep gunning. Flick no wan make dem fall, and for dem fit win dis year, dem need to perform better than wetin dem show against Espanyol and Villarreal.
Barcelona dey sit for di top of di table with four points lead over Real Madrid, and dem go need every piece of strength, especially from Yamal, as dem dey eye di trophy. Make una keep una fingers crossed, as dem dey prepare to show di world wetin dem fit do!
