Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has expressed confidence that Lamine Yamal will recover in time to feature in his side's opening match at the 2026 World Cup.

The young Barcelona forward has been dealing with a fitness concern, but De la Fuente indicated he has no serious worries about the winger's availability when the tournament gets underway.

Yamal has been one of Spain's most influential players in recent campaigns, and his presence in the squad will be crucial as the reigning European champions look to make an impact on the global stage.
