  "account": "In a recent statement, Spain national team boss Luis de la Fuente has provided an update on the knee injury of forward Lamine Yamal. The Spanish boss revealed that Yamal has been called up for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Czechia and England, but he remains in Barcelona due to the injury. Spain's players are expected to face Czechia on Wednesday, with Yamal likely to miss that match, but the forward is anticipated to rejoin the squad following Thursday's game. De la Fuente explained that while Yamal was willing to play, the decision was made to prioritize his health and not take any risks. The Spanish coach emphasized that starting Yamal would have been an option in an emergency situation, but the team's primary concern was his well-being and ensuring he is in optimal condition for the crucial match against England on Sunday at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid.",
