How to use Yamal rationally has become a top priority for Barcelona at the moment(danyu)

Yamal was still injured after all, and Barcelona officially announced that Yamal had suffered a first-degree loss of ligament in his right ankle and needed to rest for about two to three weeks.
How to use Yamal is a dilemma for the Barça management and Flick.
Although he is only 17 years old, Yamal is now the absolute main force of Barcelona, and it can even be said that he is the most threatening attack point in Barcelona's frontcourt. In 13 rounds of La Liga this season, Yamal has started 11 games, and Barcelona have won all 11 games, while Barca have lost both games in Yamal's rotation.
Less than one-third of the season, Yamal has made 16 appearances for Barcelona, scoring six goals and providing eight assists. Yamal is also the leading La Liga dribbling so far this season, with 34 successful dribbles in 12 appearances.
As Yamal's importance grew, so did his appearances. With 50 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona last season and less than one-third of this season, Yamal has made 16 appearances for Barcelona, and it is almost a doubt that he will make more appearances than last season.
So for Yamal's 17-year-old body, can he handle such a heavy workload?
The answer is obvious, it can't be tolerated, and Yamal's injury is a good proof of that.
For Barcelona, there is more than one young talent ruined by injury, Yamal's best example is Fati, who also debuted at the age of 16 and played well at the age of 17 and became a high-profile talent, but due to too many injuries, the 23-year-old Fati has become a role that no one cares about.
Not allowing Yamal to repeat the mistakes of Fati has become a priority for Barça's management and manager Flick, and in such a situation, Yamal's rotation is very important, even if it is worth sacrificing a momentary result.
Whether it is a temporary achievement or a long-term glory, I believe that the Barcelona management and Flick should understand which is more important!
