Yamal dropped from Spain squad after injury confirmed | OneFootball

This Friday, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced that forward Lamine Yamal has been cut from coach Luis de la Fuente’s squad due to a “groin issue.” As a result, the young player will miss the World Cup Qualifying matches against Georgia and Bulgaria.

The statement highlights that the national team doctors requested information last Thursday, but only this Friday—after the official squad list was released—did Barcelona inform them about the player’s discomfort.

“Lamine Yamal has been withdrawn from Luis de la Fuente’s squad for the 2026 World Cup Qualifying matches against Georgia, in Elche, and Bulgaria, in Valladolid. After a request for information made yesterday by the RFEF medical staff, FC Barcelona’s medical team informed us this afternoon, after the official squad list was announced, that the Blaugrana forward is experiencing discomfort in the pubic area. Therefore, to ensure a quick and safe recovery, as is the case with all Spanish national team players, he has been removed from the squad,” wrote the RFEF.

Injury History

Although he played the full 90 minutes against PSG, Yamal complained of pain after the match. Barcelona reported an injury in the same area that had already sidelined him for three matches this season, including the Champions League debut.

Recovery Time and National Team Withdrawal

The estimated recovery time is the same as the last injury, two to three weeks. Due to the injury, Yamal will also be cut from the Spanish national team, which had called him up for the Qualifiers.

Which games will Yamal miss?

Yamal is likely to miss five matches: three for Barcelona and two for Spain. The forward is expected to be preserved to return for the clásico against Real Madrid on October 26, in the tenth round of the Spanish League.
