Spain coach confident Yamal will be ready for World Cup

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente expressed confidence that Lamine Yamal will arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in top condition despite recovering from a hamstring injury. The 18-year-old forward sustained the injury last month while playing for Barcelona. De la Fuente highlighted Yamal's dedication to rehabilitation as key to his preparation.

De la Fuente spoke in an interview with SPORT about Yamal's commitment beyond regular training sessions. He noted that the player trains three hours daily, works with a gym, physiotherapist, nutritionist and psychologist, and focuses on what he called invisible training. This involves constant attention to recovery and performance, according to the coach.
