Lamine Yamal is gearing up for his long-anticipated comeback to the Spanish national squad as they prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This follows the knee injury he faced while playing for Barcelona near the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.
Spain’s head coach, Luis de la Fuente, has reassured fans that Yamal will be fit for the team’s opening World Cup match, dispelling doubts regarding his condition. The coach emphasized that the young talent is making good progress and is an integral part of his future plans.
Yamal has been diligently focusing on his recovery, and the atmosphere in the Spanish camp is positive. Although he experienced an injury setback, the team has maintained confidence in his readiness, bolstered by his commitment in training.
At just 16 years old, Yamal is celebrated as one of the most promising prospects in global football, and he is expected to be a crucial figure for La Roja in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Softfootball has also reported that Lamine Yamal will don the number 19 jersey for Spain during the upcoming World Cup, while Dani Olmo will wear the iconic number 10.
