As per reports from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are angered by the situation, as they requested an omission from this international window.

La Blaugrana were concerned by game overload, but Spain wanted him available for the Demark game, to continue their push for finals qualification.

The report indicates the national team assumed Lamine Yamal would pick up a yellow card against the Danes and incur a suspension for the Serbia game.

He will now been given the ‘rest’ Spain planned but with the burden of needing to recover from a knock.
