Lamine Yamal Gets Spain Recall as Barcelona Press for Careful Minutes After Champions League Lift

De la Fuente deemed the 18-year-old an obvious pick in perfect shape.

Overview

  • Luis de la Fuente named Yamal to face Georgia and Turkey in World Cup qualifying, citing his condition after midweek.
  • Barcelona president Joan Laporta asked Spain to manage the winger’s workload during the international break due to ongoing pubalgia.
  • Yamal denied reports about being unhappy or severely hindered by injury, calling the claims lies after the 3-3 draw at Club Brugge.
  • Hansi Flick welcomed the player’s form but warned the groin issue requires continued treatment and careful training management.
  • Opta data shows Yamal now has 13 Champions League goal involvements, tying Kylian Mbappé for the most by a player aged 18 or under.
