Lamine Yamal to miss Spain's opener with knee issue, per Romano
Barcelona's Lamine Yamal will not be available for Spain's match against the Czech Republic because of knee problems, according to a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano cited by Get Spanish Football News. The report says Yamal will join up with the squad ahead of the England match while recovering from knee discomfort. The 19-year-old played from the start in Barcelona's 2-1 win at Atlético Madrid on Sunday and set up Fermín López's winner, the report said, adding that he picked up the fitness problem during that game. Spain are scheduled to play the Czech Republic and England during the international break. The report did not specify the severity of the knee issue, and there was no indication of official confirmation from Barcelona or the Spanish federation.
