Spain NT offer key update on Lamine Yamal after he misses training | OneFootball

The much-awaited match-up between Lionel Messi’s Argentina and Lamine Yamal’s Spain is only a few days away, as the two teams take each other on in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final.

However, heading into this high-octane clash, there were fears that Yamal could be a doubt after he missed Spain’s training session today.

Yamal was seen completely strapped and skipping training as he was suffering from discomfort, leading many to believe that he might miss the final against Argentina.

However, after much chatter, the Spanish national team believes there is no cause for concern, as far as Yamal’s fitness is concerned.

This is according to Mundo Deportivo, which suggests the Spanish national team is dealing the situation with a sense of calmness.

The Spain camp has downplayed any concerns around Yamal’s fitness and remains confident that he will be able to rejoin training tomorrow.

It must be noted that Yamal had suffered discomfort during the semifinal against France and the Spain camp, therefore, is being very cautious with his fitness.

This will serve as a welcome development for not just Spain fans but also the Barcelona fans, who had been sceptical about Yamal’s fitness and the way he has been treated by the national team.

Everything suggests Yamal will be ready to feature against Argentina in the final, in what would be the most consequential match of his career.

The Barcelona winger will have the opportunity to win the FIFA World Cup at the age of just 19 and that too by being a key player in the Spanish team.

Apart from that, fans are awaiting the first encounter between Messi and Yamal, which promises to be a momentous occasion for any Barcelona fan.

The famous photo of Messi and a baby Yamal has already gone viral and it will be interesting to see who comes out on the top when these two special players collide for the first time in their careers.
