Barcelona coach Xavi: We must not burn out Yamal

Barcelona coach Xavi says must not expect too much from Lamine Yamal.

The teen was quiet for yesterday's draw with Real Mallorca.

But Xavi said: "He is so young that we want to take care of him.

"He has a lot of maturity. He can help us a lot, but we have to be careful. Happy with his contribution.

"He has come in very well. He understands very well with Rafa, with Fermín. I know that he can contribute to us and that he is differential. That is what we want. That he generates things for us, but we have to take care of him. He is too young to burn him out."
