Spain aims to add another title to their collection at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, following their recent UEFA Euro triumph. However, they will be without Lamine Yamal, who played a crucial role in the Euro win.
The 17-year-old Yamal is currently on vacation and has chosen not to participate in the Olympics. During the European Championship, he explained that his absence is due to the demanding schedule of his first full season as a professional.
“I carried quite a big load of minutes for my age. I decided this because the first thing coming up was the European Championship and I wanted to focus 100% on this tournament. I wasn’t thinking about the next thing,” Yamal told Sport, indicating his decision to skip the Paris games.
