Yamal Named in Spain Squad Despite Injury Concerns

Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal has been included in Spain's 26-man World Cup squad despite suffering a hamstring injury in April. The 18-year-old Barcelona winger, who made headlines at Euro 2024, is expected to be available for the tournament but his fitness level remains uncertain. saltysenoritaaz.org

Yamal, sidelined since April 22 when he was injured after scoring a penalty for Barcelona against Celta Vigo, follows a conservative treatment plan. Despite this being part of an injury-disrupted season, the club confirmed he would be ready for the World Cup, reflecting his importance to Spain's campaign.
