Lamine Yamal, Spain, Barcelona, Luis de la Fuente
3 June 2026
Lamine Yamal remains a fitness concern for Spain despite being named in their World Cup squad. The Barcelona winger has not played since suffering a hamstring problem late in the La Liga season.
Spain hope Yamal can still influence the tournament, but his match sharpness is uncertain after weeks out. Luis de la Fuente must balance protecting a key attacker with the pressure to use one of football’s brightest young players.
