Spain's De la Fuente hopeful teen star Yamal can face England
PRAGUE: Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said Wednesday he is optimistic Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal will be fit to face England in the Nations League at the weekend.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente expressed optimism on Wednesday that Barcelona's teenage winger Lamine Yamal could face England in the Nations League match this weekend. The 19-year-old had been ruled out of Spain's match against the Czech Republic due to a knee issue and will likely join the team after that game. Yamal participated in Barcelona's recent 2-1 La Liga victory over Atletico Madrid.
De la Fuente stated that Yamal's medical staff and Spain's medical staff have a strong relationship, leading him to believe that Yamal would be in a condition to play. The coach dismissed concerns about Yamal receiving special treatment compared to his fellow national team players, emphasizing that the team treats everyone equally in such situations.
Spain, currently undefeated in their last 43 competitive outings, secured their place in the quarter-finals and aims to set new milestones.
