Hansi Flick must manage not only the team's physical form and busy schedule, but also the risk of suspensions before the Champions League match against Newcastle United.
The German coach has four players on the risk list, three of whom are expected to start in tonight's match.
A yellow card for them would mean missing the return match, writes "Gazeta Express".
Among the most delicate cases is Lamine Yamal, who is just one card away from suspension.
The young talent must show great caution against provocations and harsh interference, to avoid a punishment that would leave him out of the return match.
The situation is also complicated for Fermín López and Gerard Martín, two players who are characterized by intensity and aggression in the game, which increases the risk of a yellow card.
If Fermín is suspended, Dani Olmo could take his place in the return leg, while for Gerard Martín the alternative would be Ronald Araújo.
The fourth player at risk of suspension is Marc Casadó, who is however expected to start the match from the bench, so the risk is smaller – although an activation in the second half could expose him to a card. /Express newspaper
