Barcelona are gearing up for a tricky La Liga clash against Valencia, but the build-up has been dominated by injuries and stadium talk rather than tactics. With Lamine Yamal ruled out and doubts over several other key players, head coach Hansi Flick faced the media to give his take on the challenges ahead.

The delay comes just one month after the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) approved the plans for Hard Rock Stadium to host the Catalans’ December clash. UEFA and subsequently FIFA still need to green light the request, though, which is proving to be more difficult than perhaps La Liga president Javier Tebas would like.

The Spanish giant has a loaded roster and the best young player in world soccer. But as the renovation of its 105,000-seat Camp Nou stadium drags on, it’s left playing at a 6,000 capacity practice field.

Now reports have suggested that Messi could reportedly be a part of Barcelona's upcoming presidential elections in 2026. Barcelona's current president, Joan Laporta, will be seeking his fourth term at the Catalan club in next year's elections.

Lamine Yamal was spotted missing from Barcelona training ahead of their crucial La Liga clash against Valencia.
