Manager Hansi Flick emphasized the importance of Yamal managing his physical condition and lifestyle to maintain his progress.
This season, Yamal has started five games, scoring three goals. he has five goals and five assists in 10 appearances.
“I’m happy that Lamine can return to his best level, but I can also predict what tomorrow will be like; what Sunday will be like,” Flick told ESPN.”The most meaningful thing is that he can overcome the current situation as he knows his condition is not easy. He has to focus on his performance, how he trains, and also treating injuries.”
Flick added, “If he can handle it properly, hopefully it will continue like that, but it’s not easy to say that in a situation like this.”
Yamal has also faced scrutiny regarding off-field lifestyle choices, adding another layer to his current challenges.
