Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal is expected to return to Spain’s squad for Sunday’s UEFA Nations League meeting with England after recovering from a knee problem, “according to sports reporting”.
Yamal missed the 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic after experiencing discomfort in his right knee, “during the 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid on November 8”.
An MRI scan detected inflammation and fluid in the joint, prompting medical teams to agree that he should receive treatment at his club rather than travel to Prague, “as documented by media archives”.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente offered an encouraging update after the victory against the Czech Republic, “as per SPORT”.
De la Fuente stated, “‘The truth is, we have good news. Lamine Yamal is feeling much better and is eager to join the training camp tomorrow.’”
The coach further confirmed his physical status by stating, “‘Lamine is in perfect condition and ready to play full 90 minutes.’”
Yamal’s delayed arrival had previously generated discussion about preferential treatment from the national team, “according to photo reports”.
De la Fuente rejected those suggestions and stated, “‘Lamine has no privileges.’”
Spain will face England on Sunday, November 15, with the Group A3 leadership at stake, “per tournament coverage”.
