Gill Clark Gill Clark is the site manager of Barca Blaugranes and joined in 2017. She has worked in sports media as a writer and editor for the best part of two decades and has been in love with the beautiful game for as long as she can remember.
Spain boss Luis de la Fuente says Lamine Yamal is in “perfect condition” and ready to play the whole game against England in the Nations League on Sunday.
Yamal missed Spain’s first game of the break with Czechia due to a knee issue but will now link up with the squad for their second match against the Three Lions.
Speaking after the win over Czechia, De la Fuente offered a brief update on Yamal’s progress, per Mundo Deportivo.
“The truth is, we have good news. Lamine Yamal is feeling much better and is eager to join the training camp tomorrow. Mikel is too. One will arrive around midday and the other a little later, but both will be with us tomorrow,” he said.
He went on to add that the two players “are ready to play 90 minutes” and “in perfect condition.”
Barcelona will no doubt be keeping a close eye on the situation and hoping that no risks are taken with Yamal.
