Spain to miss Lamine Yamal in Peru friendly

Lamine Yamal will not be available for Spain's final World Cup warm‑up against Peru. Spain's coaching staff opt for caution ahead of the tournament. Yamal has begun reintegrating into training step by step, taking part in warm‑ups and rondos but is not ready for competitive action. The 18‑year‑old’s progress is described as a positive step. Yamal, who plays for Barcelona, joined the national squad for the training camp. Yamal has been sidelined since the Celta Vigo match in April, missing the last six La Liga fixtures due to a muscle injury. The injury forced him out of the league run‑in.

Nico Williams and Victor Munoz are also set to miss the Peru friendly, leaving Spain to reshuffle its winger options before the group stage. The coaching staff hope the wide‑area players recover in time for the tournament.
