According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have designed a clear plan for Lamine Yamal’s comeback as the youngster nears full fitness.
The outlet assures that the 18-year-old will feature for around 30 to 45 minutes as a substitute against Girona before returning to the starting lineup in the Champions League clash against Olympiacos, where he is expected to play between 60 and 70 minutes.
Interestingly, if everything goes as planned, Yamal will be at his best and fully ready for the El Clasico against Real Madrid on October 26.
The Barça prodigy has been working at the club’s facilities, focusing on recovery and muscle strengthening to put his recent groin issues behind him.
Notably, Yamal suffered a relapse during the Champions League encounter against PSG, yet his current form in recovery has encouraged both the medical and technical staff.
El Clasico in sight

The plan, while cautious, is ambitious. His limited minutes against Girona will serve as an important test to gauge his readiness in a competitive environment.
If his body responds well, he will then start against Olympiacos, which would be a vital step to regain rhythm and confidence ahead of the Clasico.
The ultimate goal for Hansi Flick and his staff is to have Yamal in peak condition when Barcelona face Real Madrid.
Flick views the teenager as a vital component of his attacking setup, praising his pace, creativity, and ability to unsettle defenders.
With Barcelona still chasing consistency after recent setbacks, having Yamal back at full strength could provide the spark the team has been missing.
Everything at the club is now being planned with one clear objective – ensuring their most promising young talent is 100% ready to shine on the grandest stage of all.
