Xavi: Lamine Yamal is only thinking about Barca

In the run-up to the match against Osasuna, Xavi spoke about the name making headlines right now, that of Lamine Yamal. The young Azulgrana player broke club recordson his debut last Saturday against Betis at 15 years old.

The Blaugrana coach has assured that he has no doubts that Lamine Yamal is going to have problems to manage the moment he is living through and has not hesitated to affirm that he is a player "very young but with a very well set-up head. He plays with his feet on the ground, you only need to see him play". 

Xavi has assured that the player will be monitored and that there will be no rush, but he has not hidden his desire to continue counting on him. "We have to manage his minutes and his environment well, but I don't think there will be any problems. We'll keep a good eye on him". 

Regarding the player's future, Xavi is confident that his renewal will be finalised soon because "the situation is under control". "He only thinks about staying," he said emphatically. 

Lamine Yamal is once again the main attraction in the squad for the game against Osasuna, where he is expected to play some minutes. Sergi Roberto is the only absentee from the 22-man squad.
