Spain began preparations for the final of the 2026 World Cup against the Argentine National Team with a concern that quickly captured everyone's attention. Lamine Yamal, the standout player of Luis de la Fuente's squad, did not participate in training alongside his teammates and performed differentiated work due to a muscle discomfort.
The 19-year-old winger had finished with discomfort in the 2-0 victory over France, a match in which he forced the penalty that opened the scoring and created constant problems for the opposing defense. According to reports, the young Barcelona player suffered a strain in his left thigh that began to be treated by physiotherapists as soon as the delegation returned to the hotel.
In the first practice held in New Jersey, the Blaugrana player was seen with a bandage on his left leg. He did not participate in group exercises and was limited to performing rehabilitation tasks on a mat, as well as myofascial release work with a foam roller.
