Overview

• Lamine Yamal’s pubic discomfort reappeared after the full match against PSG, and Barcelona say he will miss Sevilla and be sidelined for two to three weeks.
• The RFEF officially withdrew him from the October qualifiers hours after Luis de la Fuente had named his squad, citing the club’s medical information.
• His absence rules him out of Spain’s matches against Georgia in Elche and Bulgaria in Valladolid during the World Cup qualifying window.
• Hansi Flick’s earlier criticism of Spain’s handling in September drew a public rebuttal from De la Fuente, who insisted the “risk was zero” and said there is no personal conflict.
• A tense press exchange saw De la Fuente challenge a journalist over questions on injections and injury management, as Barça’s Deco and the RFEF’s Aitor Karanka maintain talks to improve communication.
