Barcelona sets up special program for Yamal as Koundé nears return

Lamine Yamal, FC Barcelona star, is undergoing a special training program to address discomfort in his right knee, while Jules Koundé continues to train individually ahead of the international break.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", Hans Flick led the final training session today, Tuesday, for the players who did not join their national teams, with the participation of nine first-team players, along with two from the reserve team.

Lamine Yamal misses Spain's squad for the Czech Republic match on Thursday, as he continues his individual program at the training complex before traveling to Madrid on Friday, aiming to be fit for the England clash scheduled for Sunday at the Metropolitano Stadium.

Meanwhile, Jules Koundé continues to train away from the group, despite progress in his recovery process, with expectations that he will be able to return to participate against Villarreal on November 22, following the international break. This is also the expected date for Dani Olmo's return.

Rodri, Espart, and Rony will need several more weeks before returning to the pitch, with Rony set to miss the rest of the season. Players who have not joined their national teams are scheduled to resume training next Monday.
