Spain’s head coach, Luis de la Fuente, has made a noteworthy decision regarding the participation of Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, in the upcoming World Cup match against Cape Verde.
According to prominent journalist Fabrizio Romano on social media platform X, Yamal will not be included in the starting lineup for the opener. The reason behind this decision remains unspecified, raising concerns among fans who speculate that the young player may have sustained an injury that could hinder his ability to play the full match.
Last season, Yamal had an impressive run with Barcelona, participating in 45 matches, scoring 24 goals, and providing 18 assists. His absence from the starting eleven is seen as a significant development for the Spanish team.
Spain finds itself in Group H at the World Cup, set to compete against Cape Verde, Uruguay, and Saudi Arabia.
