FC Barcelona has been ecstatic this season. Apart from a shocking defeat against Monaco in the UCL opener, the club has been at the top of the game in the remaining fixtures.

While the group, as a whole, has been excellent, much credit for the club's spectacular season start needs to be attributed to Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal. Being just 17 years of age, the prodigy leads the stats for the maximum number of goal contributions in La Liga and is just a few places behind in European football.
However, the youngster's excessive game minutes in the last two to three months seem to be of much issue for the Blaugrana club. Be it featuring in the entire Euro campaign or starting every FC Barcelona matchday, till now, Yamal has been playing much more football, which could put him at risk of injuries.
For a player of his talent, FC Barcelona, already injury-inflicted with stars like Olmo, de Jong, and Gavi out, cannot afford to have him injured, given his recent form. Addressing the same, reports suggest that Barca boss Hansi Flick and staff have decided to be much more efficient in managing the youngster's workload.
Not to forget, Lamine Yamal, apart from starting every game this season for FC Barcelona, has just had 14 minutes of rest so far. Thus, as recent reports from Mundo Deportivo suggest, Hansi Flick and his coaching staff, being aware of this concern, will look to rest him as soon as they can, keeping the youngster injury-resistant.
Overall, Lamine Yamal, who has been FC Barcelona's best player this season, definitely needs to have his game time a bit limited. Thus, Hansi Flick's plan to rest him as much as possible could be a significant step in ensuring Yamal's presence for the rest of the season. Given his talent and the performances he has been delivering so far, Culers hopes that he plays a crucial component in the club's successful campaign.
