‘Dani has the quality to have on the ball, in front of goal and has the confidence to shoot. We’ll have to see. I hope we can continue to play at the same level without him.’

Another major issue for the Blaugrana this week is the recurrence of Fermin Lopez’s injury, which will keep him out for another three weeks. Flick spoke about the situation, saying: ‘It’s a pity because I feel somewhat responsible. Nobody wants to let him go to the Under-21s and I’ve spoken to him, so I feel somewhat responsible. When I was with the doctor yesterday, the truth is I felt very sorry for him. You have to take good care of the players. ‘

The German coach elaborated on the overall injury situation, saying: ‘In the last few weeks we have worked on the players one by one. They have improved from their injuries. Ansu has trained well and we are very happy to be able to rely on him because he gives us more options. ‘

‘We’ve spoken with Dani, Gabi has been training a little bit as well, and with Frenkie. In both cases, we have to be careful.’

Asked about his plans with Fati and which position he sees as the best fit for the 21-year-old forward, Flick said: ‘The thing is, I don’t know. He’s ready to play and when he’s ready to play, he can play 45 minutes. I know about his preferred position but I’ll leave it in doubt a little bit.’

‘When he’s on the pitch, he enjoys the little games and scoring goals.’
