Lamine Yamal receives new shirt number for Spain vs England
The teenager will wear an iconic number.
Barcelona's Lamine Yamal has been assigned the No. 10 shirt for Spain's upcoming match against England in the UEFA Nations League. This is a change from Yamal's usual No. 19 number, which is typically worn by Dani Olmo. Dani Olmo himself is not available for this game due to an injury. Victor Munoz, who wore the No. 10 shirt against Czechia, is now wearing the No. 19.
Spain's head coach Luis de la Fuente has confirmed that Yamal is in "perfect condition" after recovering from a knee injury and is set to start in Sunday night's match. De la Fuente views the England-Spain clash as one of the best games of world football at the moment, describing it as potentially the best match they've seen in a long time.
Spain triumphed 3-1 in their previous encounter at Wembley when the two teams met earlier in the group stage.
