Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has delivered a positive update on Lamine Yamal’s fitness, insisting the young forward is on track to be ready for the World Cup and could even feature from the very first game.
“Lamine’s recovery is proceeding very well. He will be ready for the World Cup, should be already fit for the opening game,” De la Fuente said, underlining the confidence within the Spain camp about the winger’s progress after his recent setback. The coach added that “he’s doing good”, stressing there is no rush but clear belief that the medical plan is working as expected.
With Spain counting on Lamine as one of their key attacking weapons, the news offers a major boost ahead of the tournament, easing fears that injury might limit his involvement on the biggest stage.
