Yamal Included in Spain Squad Despite Injury Concerns

Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal has been named in Spain's 26-man World Cup squad despite ongoing concerns over his hamstring injury.

Barcelona's 18-year-old sensation, who impressed at Euro 2024, suffered a hamstring injury in April after scoring a penalty against Celta Vigo. The club confirmed he would miss the remainder of La Liga but expected him to be available for the tournament.

This is the latest setback in an injury-disrupted season for Yamal, who was also sidelined early in the campaign with a groin issue. Spain will be hoping their attacking talisman can recover in time to make an impact at the World Cup. catcross.biz
