Barcelona faces a crucial match against Atletico Madrid on Saturday, with Lamine Yamal sidelined due to injury, creating a challenge for coach Hansi Flick. Barcelona has only won once without Yamal, a 3-0 Champions League victory over Brest.
To replace the 17-year-old on the right, Flick has several options. Ferran Torres, who has been in good form as a striker, has not played on the right this season.
Raphinha, while primarily used on the left, could return to his preferred right-wing position.
Dani Olmo, a versatile player, could offer control in midfield but would require adjustments to the team's formation. Fermin Lopez, who struggled in a previous right-wing role, and Pau Victor, the least likely option, could also be considered.
Other potential options include Pablo Torre, Gavi, Dani Rodriguez, or Toni Fernandez. Flick will need to adapt his tactics to cover for Yamal's absence.
