Spain winger Lamine Yamal will miss the team's upcoming Nations League match against the Czech Republic due to injury, the Spanish federation confirmed on Monday. The 19-year-old Barcelona forward picked up a knock that rules him out of the fixture scheduled for later this week.
Team medical staff remain optimistic about Yamal's recovery timeline and expect the player to be available for Spain's subsequent Nations League encounter against England. The Three Lions are set to face Spain in what promises to be a high-profile Group A4 showdown.
Yamal has been a key figure for both club and country this season, featuring prominently in Spain's attacking setup under coach Luis de la Fuente. His absence against the Czechs represents a significant blow, though the squad boasts ample attacking alternatives including Nico Williams, Ferran Torres, and Mikel Oyarzabal.
The Nations League campaign continues as Spain look to build on their Euro 2024 triumph and secure progression to the knockout stages. Match dates and venues for the upcoming fixtures will be confirmed by UEFA in due course.
