Luis de la Fuente reveals Lamine Yamal plans for Spain vs Croatia

Spanish national team head coach Luis de la Fuente has shared his thoughts on the future of star attacker Lamine Yamal in their upcoming match against Croatia. Yamal, a wide-man, has been in impressive form for Spain in the Nations League this season, starting in all three pre-break fixtures and contributing five goals in total.

In their last match against Czechia, Yamal was substituted after 45 minutes. When asked by the media if Yamal would receive further rest, de la Fuente stated that they always field the best team for the match at hand. De la Fuente acknowledged the difficulty of playing multiple matches in a short span, mentioning that only 270 minutes in total would be available for players, which means no one would play more than three out of four games.

Yamal has played two of the three matches so far, while most of the players are expected to play three out of four matches. De la Fuente emphasized that tomorrow's match against Croatia is of significant importance due to both qualification stakes and the formidable opponent they face.
