Yamal (groin) is expected to miss Thursday's trip to Newcastle, Mundo Deportivo reports.

Yamal has suffered a groin injury and is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Valencia, coach Hansi Flick said in the press conference. "Lamine will not be available. He went with the national team in pain and did not train. They gave him painkillers to play. They had at least a three-goal lead in every match, and he played 73 minutes and 79, and between matches he couldn't train. That is not taking care of the player. I am very sad about this."

Yamal (undisclosed) is doubtful for Sunday's clash against Valencia after missing Saturday's training session due to physical issues, according to Barca Universal.

Gavi has avoided knee surgery as Barcelona opted for a conservative treatment that will sideline him for several weeks, according to Sport.

De Jong has suffered a minor leg injury and is out for the time being, according to the club.

Balde has suffered a hamstring injury in training on Wednesday and is out for the time being, the club announced.

de Jong registered seven tackles (four won), one clearance and five interceptions in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano.
