Ghana, are you ready for more World Cup qualifier action? All eyes are on Spain as they prepare to face Turkey. One of the biggest questions surrounding the Spanish squad is the fitness of Barcelona's young star, Lamine Yamal.
Yamal's Injury Scare: A Cause for Concern?
After Spain's victory over Bulgaria, concerns arose when Lamine Yamal seemed to be experiencing some discomfort. Reports suggested a possible back issue, leaving fans and Barcelona officials anxious. Would he be fit to play against Turkey?
Good News from the Camp
Thankfully, there's positive news! Despite the initial worries, Yamal participated in Saturday's training session with the national team. Spain's coach, Luis de la Fuente, addressed the media, providing an update on the squad's condition, including Yamal's.
De la Fuente stated, "I will assess whether there are more or less tired players. There are some blows, discomfort, but not important. There is no discomfort from any player that is important." This suggests that while some players may have minor issues, no significant injuries are present, including for Yamal.
Yamal Likely to Feature Against Turkey
Based on de la Fuente's comments, it seems likely that Lamine Yamal will be in the starting lineup against Turkey.
