Lamine Yamal ruled out for Spain debut as he stays at Barcelona

Lamine Yamal will not travel to Prague for the first match against the Czech Republic because the Barça winger has discomfort in his right knee, the RFEF reported on Monday. Mikel Oyarzabal will also be unable to play, as the Real Sociedad forward is in the final stage of a flu, according to the same note.

Medical decisions and monitoring

The Federation reported that the FC Barcelona player reported discomfort in his right knee after last night's match against Atlético de Madrid and, after examinations, it was decided that he should remain in Barcelona to continue his recovery process. Meanwhile, the Real Sociedad player is in the final stage of a flu process and will finish recovering in San Sebastián, and both will join the training camp in the coming days to be available against England at the Metropolitano Stadium. The medical services of the RFEF (Royal Spanish Football Federation) are in constant contact with the doctors of both clubs to monitor day by day the evolution of the two internationals.

The absences of Yamal and Oyarzabal at the start of the Roja's training camp add to the loss of Ander Barrenetxea, who was injured on Sunday in Real Sociedad's match against Rayo Vallecano. His replacement will be Jorge de Frutos, who debuted with the Absolute team in September 2025 and this season has accumulated two goals and two assists in nine matches.
