Spain's De La Fuente Hopeful Teen Star Yamal Can Face England

Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal is available after knee pain, and Spain can clinch top spot with a point against England.

  • Spain hosts England at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday, November 15, 2026, in a decisive UEFA Nations League Group A3 match. Both teams have secured quarter-final berths, but the group's top spot remains at stake.
  • Manager Luis de la Fuente's side enters unbeaten in 43 matches, having won all five group games. Spain holds a three-point lead over England, seeking to extend their record-breaking run and secure top spot.
  • Teenage forward Lamine Yamal returns after missing the Czech Republic match with a knee injury. De la Fuente confirmed the 19-year-old is in "perfect condition" to start and play 90 minutes.
  • England manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed James Trafford will start in goal over Jordan Pickford, continuing his rotation strategy. Tuchel called the match a "final," demanding top performance against the world champions.
  • Beating Spain would represent England's most significant non-tournament win since 2018 and a crucial test before March's quarter-finals. The result will determine whether the Three Lions can compete with the world's elite.
