Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish national team coach, expressed his regret over Yamal’s absence but emphasized the importance of prioritizing the player’s health. “Barcelona, like all clubs, has sent us the relevant medical report, and we have decided that he will not travel, as there was no need to go through the same procedure here again.

The coach also wished for Yamal’s swift recovery, reiterating that the player’s well-being is the priority at this moment. “It’s unfortunate to deal with injuries, but if we were facing matches of a different nature, there would have been injuries as well. It’s just the timing, and now we must focus on getting the injured players back to full fitness, for both their clubs and the national team,” De la Fuente concluded.
A blow for the Spanish National Team
Bryan Gil, the Girona winger, will step in for Yamal in the attack. This presents a great opportunity for the young player to prove his worth and help the national team achieve positive results in the UEFA Nations League.
