Ahead of today’s UEFA Nations League showdown between Spain and Denmark, Spanish football is facing a notable absence: teenage sensation Lamine Yamal.
The 17-year-old, widely regarded for his electrifying wing play and dubbed a potential “legend of the game” by coach Luis de la Fuente, has been sidelined due to injury.
Yamal sustained a grade 1 syndesmosis injury in his right ankle, confirmed following tests conducted after Barcelona’s Champions League victory over Red Star Belgrade.
This injury has ruled him out for an estimated two to three weeks, keeping him from participating in Spain’s crucial matches against Denmark and Switzerland.
Barcelona, grappling with an injury-hit season, missed Yamal’s creativity during their recent 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad.
His absence on the international stage underscores his growing importance to both club and country.
In Yamal’s place, Girona’s Bryan Gil has been called up to bolster Spain’s squad.
De la Fuente expressed hope for Yamal’s swift recovery, noting the timing was especially tough but emphasizing his team’s resilience.
