Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is set to miss Spain’s first game of the international break against Czechia due to a knee problem.
Yamal reported discomfort in his knee after playing 90 minutes for Barcelona against Atletico on Sunday night and will delay meeting up with the national team, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The teenager has undergone tests this morning and the decision has been taken for him to remain in Barcelona for the time being.
Barcelona are said to be “conveying a sense of calm regarding
the player’s condition” and it’s expected that Yamal will go on to meet up with the Spain squad later in the week.
Spain are due to play Czechia in Prague in the Nations League on Thursday and will then face England in their second game of the break on Sunday in Madrid.
Yamals’s Barcelona team-mates Pedri, Pau Cubarsi, Fermin Lopez and Joan Garcia are also in the Spain squad for the two games.
