Following a disappointing start to World Cup 2026 with a goalless draw against Cape Verde in their Group H opener, Spain return to action on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta for a crucial second group game against Saudi Arabia.
Spain need all three points to remain in position to clinch first place in what should be a very tough group finale against Uruguay, but they also need to play much better against the Saudis after a disappointing showing in the opener.
La Roja only looked anywhere near good enough
when Lamine Yamal came on in the second half, and his presence was so important to the team that there’s already talk of starting the teenage superstar on Sunday, even though questions still remain about his fitness after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Barcelona fans watched Raphinha suffer a relapse of his own hamstring injury in Brazil’s match on Friday, so they will undoubtedly be very nervous about the prospect of watching Yamal play extended minutes on Sunday.
So today’s Barca Blaugranes Question of the Day is:
Should Lamine Yamal start for Spain against Saudi Arabia?
