Yamal Fit for World Cup Despite Injury Concerns

Spanish teenager Lamine Yamal has been included in Spain's World Cup squad despite suffering a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since April.

Barcelona's 18-year-old sensation, who impressed at Euro 2024, was included in Luis de la Fuente's 26-man squad despite concerns over his fitness. The injury occurred when Yamal scored a winning penalty against Celta Vigo on April 22, with initial fears of an eight-week recovery timeline. mchezo.life

Barcelona and manager Hansi Flick have expressed confidence that Yamal will be match-fit for the tournament, though his level of impact remains uncertain. This latest setback follows an injury-disrupted season for the teenage winger, who also missed games earlier due to a chronic groin issue.
