  "account": "Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal is set to assume greater responsibility for Spain's national team after being assigned one of the most coveted jerseys in football – the prestigious No. 10 shirt. The teenage winger will replace his usual No. 19 in Sunday's high-stakes UEFA Nations League clash against England in Madrid. The No. 10 jersey became available following Dani Olmo's injury, which ruled him out of the current international camp. Yamal, who normally wears No. 19 for Spain, has returned from a knee injury and is now slated for the starting lineup. Spain's head coach, Luis de la Fuente, praised Yamal's fitness and expects him to be in \"perfect condition\" for the match. Spain currently leads Group A3 with a three-point advantage over England, following their 3-1 victory over the Three Lions at Wembley earlier in the tournament. A repeat of that result in Madrid would secure Spain's top position in the standings.",
