Barcelona's 18-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal will not be playing against Newcastle in their Champions League opener on Thursday night.
Fans in St James' Park hoping to watch the Spanish superstar will be left disappointed, although there's no doubt his absence is a boost for Eddie Howe's men.
Yamal was absent for Barcelona's 6-0 win against Valencia with a groin issue and that injury has kept him out of the travelling squad again.
The teenager played 79 minutes and 73 minutes against Bulgaria and Turkey for his country during the international break.
And Hansi Flick was annoyed at the workload Spain put on their leading talent.
He said: 'Lamine goes to the national team with pain, didn't train and had painkillers to play.
'They were three goals up in every match and he played 79 and 73 minutes.
'Between the matches, he didn't train. This is not taking care of players. Spain have the best team in the world and in every position they are unbelievably good. So I am really sad about this.'
