Lamine Yamal Ruled Out of Spain’s Game Against Czechia: Is the Barcelona Star Injured?
Spain will rest both forwards and expects them back for England after a win in Prague would secure top spot in Group A3.
- On Monday, the Royal Spanish Football Federation announced that Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal will miss Thursday's Nations League match against the Czech Republic. Both players remain in Spain for recovery but are expected to return for Sunday's clash against England.
- Yamal, the 19-year-old Barcelona forward, picked up right knee discomfort during Sunday's victory over Atletico Madrid. Oyarzabal is simultaneously recovering from a bout of flu in San Sebastian, forcing both to sit out the trip to Prague.
- Concerns over the teenager's workload persist after he logged 281 minutes last international break, exceeding coach Luis de la Fuente's 270-minute limit. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick previously accused De la Fuente of "not taking care" of the player.
- De la Fuente will rely on alternative attacking options against Czechia, including Nico Williams, Ferran Torres, and Yeremy Pino. The RFEF confirmed that "Both players will join the training camp in the coming days."
- With 12 points, Spain currently leads Group A3 and aims to secure the top spot this week. The Nations League quarterfinal stage begins next March, with the team seeking to maintain momentum following their recent success.
