Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Spain, Luis de la Fuente
11 June 2026
Spain received a major World Cup fitness boost after Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams returned to full training before the opener against Cape Verde. Both wingers had been doubts after missing the final warm-up friendly against Peru.
Yamal had not played a competitive match since April because of a hamstring injury, while Williams was also managed carefully. Their return gives Luis de la Fuente more attacking options, though Yamal may still be limited early.
