Yamal Ready for Saudi Arabia But Spain Will Manage His Minutes

2 hours ago·1 min

Lamine Yamal has declared himself fit and available for Spain's upcoming fixture against Saudi Arabia on Sunday, though the teenage winger was candid about the limits of his current condition, admitting this is not the right moment for him to play a full 90 minutes.

The Barcelona forward's comments point to a cautious approach from the Spain camp as they manage his workload, balancing the need to have their most exciting talent on the pitch while protecting him from any risk of aggravating an injury.

Yamal's availability — even in a limited capacity — will be a boost for Spain heading into the match, with the 17-year-old widely regarded as one of the most important players in Luis de la Fuente's squad ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
