Will Lamine Yamal and Pedro Porro Play in the World Cup Final? Spain Injury Update

Spain are managing Lamine Yamal and Pedro Porro’s fitness after both skipped group training, with the staff aiming to keep them fresh for the final.

  • Lamine Yamal and Pedro Porro trained separately from Spain's squad on Thursday in New Jersey, beginning preparations for Sunday's World Cup final against Argentina.
  • Following Tuesday's 2-0 semifinal win over France, head coach Luis de la Fuente managed their workload after Porro reported muscle tightness and Lamine showed visible post-match aches.
  • The RFEF expects both players available for Sunday's final, though Porro suffered a hamstring strain and Lamine wore a visible thigh bandage despite de la Fuente saying he had "nothing" of note.
  • Spain must adjust to New Jersey's humid conditions and temperatures around 86 degrees Fahrenheit before playing only their second outdoor match of the tournament on Sunday.
  • Victory in the World Cup provides political momentum for leaders; the final carries significant stakes for both Argentina under President Javier Milei and Spain beyond the pitch.
