Overview

  • The RFEF said the Barcelona forward underwent an invasive radiofrequency treatment for pubic pain on the morning the squad reported.
  • Federation medical staff said they were informed at 13:47 on Nov. 10 and received a detailed report at 22:40 recommending 7–10 days of rest.
  • Spain released the 18-year-old from the call-up for the World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Turkey based on that guidance.
  • Reports indicate Barcelona arranged the procedure with an external doctor without notifying the national team, heightening club–federation friction.
  • The federation framed the move as a player‑welfare decision and wished Yamal a swift recovery, with no replacement or disciplinary steps announced.
