Spain boss De la Fuente provides injury update on Barcelona star Lamine Yamal | OneFootball

Spanish national team head coach Luis de la Fuente has spoken out over the wellbeing of Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal.

This comes, for those who missed it, after concern regarding Lamine’s fitness began to spread earlier in the day.

The 17-year-old was spotted in attendance at Spain’s medical base this afternoon, with El Chiringuito TV having pointed towards as much as having come owing to ongoing ‘discomfort’ on the back of Barcelona’s drubbing of Real Valladolid over the weekend.

Speaking to the media late this evening, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of Lamine’s situation was put to the aforementioned Luis de la Fuente.

And the Spanish tactician’s ensuing response will no doubt give rise to a collective sigh of relief across the Barcelona fanbase.

This comes with De la Fuente having assured that:

“Lamine is suffering from a blow and passed [medical] tests to remain calm.”

The 17-year-old is therefore considered as highly unlikely to miss any time with Barcelona.
