The Spanish national team’s roster situation has changed significantly just before their opening match in the 2026 World Cup against Cape Verde. Star wingers Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal are confirmed to be available for the match, although they will start from the bench.
Details: As reported by Cadena SER, the decision by Spain’s medical and coaching staff to prioritize caution means both players will likely see limited action during the second half. Fans of La Roja are particularly optimistic about Lamine Yamal’s condition, as he has reportedly fully recovered from prior muscle injuries.
Spain’s schedule in the World Cup group stage includes matches against Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and Cape Verde. Additionally, it has been reported that Spain’s captain, Mikel Oyarzabal, may miss the tournament due to an injury.
