Yamal could be fit for Spain's World Cup opener

Published June 3, 2026 · Updated June 3, 2026 · NRK

Spain's national team coach Luis de la Fuente believes 18-year-old star Lamine Yamal may be ready for the team's World Cup opener against Cape Verde on June 15.

Yamal, who missed Spain's match against Iraq on Thursday due to a hamstring injury, is expected to be available for selection against Cape Verde. The Barcelona player sustained the injury on April 22 while taking a penalty for his club.

The young star recently expressed concern about missing the World Cup but coach De la Fuente stated that if nothing changes, Yamal could be ready, though his playing time remains uncertain as the team will evaluate his condition continuously. capturengo.com
