De la Fuente: Lamine Yamal’s involvement against England depends on his fitness

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said Lamine Yamal has fully recovered, but has not decided whether he will start against England in the Nations League on Sunday. The player missed the win over Czechia with a knee problem before rejoining the national team.

De la Fuente explained that the decision on whether to start Yamal would depend on what the match requires, noting that the player is in ideal condition after having rested and been with his club. He also said he did not want to be angry about reports that Yamal had received special treatment during the international break, but objected to what he described as a failure to tell the truth. He praised the welcome given to the player and Mikel within the group.

Spain and England have secured qualification for the quarter-finals, while avoiding defeat will be enough for Spain to finish top of its group.
