Lamine Yamal picks up injury, ruled out of Spain matches | OneFootball

Lamine Yamal has been cut from the Spain squad for the decisive matches against Georgia and Turkey in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, due to pubic pain. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced this Tuesday that it released the player after evaluating his clinical condition.

The federation expressed surprise and discomfort upon learning that, on Monday morning (11/10), the player underwent an invasive radiofrequency procedure without prior communication to the national team’s medical staff. The medical report received that night recommended 7 to 10 days of rest—Barcelona will only play again in LaLiga on the 22nd.

New call-up

To cover the absence, coach Luis de la Fuente called up Jorge de Frutos (Rayo Vallecano) for the final matches: Georgia, in Tbilisi, and Turkey, in Seville.

Controversy

The case rekindles the recent friction between Barcelona and the RFEF involving Yamal—after an injury during the first international break and public exchanges between Hansi Flick and De la Fuente.

Spain leads Group E with 12 points, three more than Turkey and with the advantage in the head-to-head (6–0 in the first leg), with a direct spot well within reach.
