Mourinho relies on Diomande to limit Yamal's threat

Marca has revealed that Ivory Coast's Yan Diomande could play a key role for Real Madrid during the El Clásico against Barcelona on Sunday in the 10th round of La Liga, at Spotify Camp Nou.

According to Spanish newspaper "Marca", Mourinho wants to exploit Diomande's defensive abilities to help limit Lamine Yamal's threat while benefiting from his attacking potential.

Diomande is expected to start in the match, taking advantage of the absence of Brazilian Vinícius Júnior due to suspension, which could give him a greater opportunity to participate in the upcoming clash.

Diomande has shown remarkable performances this season, having participated in 13 matches across all competitions, during which he scored 3 goals and provided 4 assists.

Mourinho hopes to benefit from the Ivorian player's defensive and offensive abilities to handle Barcelona's threat and achieve the necessary balance.
