Overview
- RFEF medical staff said they learned at 13:47 on Monday that Lamine Yamal underwent a radiofrequency procedure for pubic discomfort.
- The federation received full details only via a 22:40 report recommending 7–10 days of rest and then removed the 17-year-old from the squad.
- Spain has replaced Yamal with Rayo Vallecano winger Jorge de Frutos for the World Cup qualifying fixtures.
- The games are scheduled against Georgia in Tbilisi on Saturday and Turkey in Seville next Tuesday, with Spain seeking to seal qualification.
- Coach Luis de la Fuente called the situation “not very normal,” as the episode follows earlier tensions with Barcelona over the player’s management.
