Spain short of Yamal and Oyarzabal for the match in Prague

On Thursday's cold evening, Spain will face the Czech Republic in Prague at 20:45, within the Nations League, but will have to do without Barcelona’s young winger Lamine Yamal, due to a knee injury.

The young winger has postponed his arrival at the national team camp because of a knee discomfort he complained about during the match against Atletico Madrid.

Success of the blaugrana

The issue surfaced after the blaugrana’s success at the Metropolitano, decided by a brace from Fermín López, which took Hansi Flick’s side to the top of the table.

Head coach Luis de la Fuente may also have to give up Mikel Oyarzabal, Real Sociedad striker battling the flu, who stayed in San Sebastián and could not join his teammates.

An official communication from the RFEF confirmed that both players will arrive at the camp in the coming days, aiming to be available for the next match against England at the Metropolitano stadium.

The national team medical staff maintains constant contact with those of Barcelona and Real Sociedad to monitor the two forwards’ conditions daily.
