Fuente was asked about his condition and insisted he is not aware of any injury to the teenager.
“Lamine has nothing that I know of. I have spoken to the doctors now. Pedro Porro seems like an overload, but we’ll see tomorrow,” he said.
Yamal won the penalty against France which saw La Roja take a 1-0 lead as Mikel Oyarzabal converted from the spot. Pedro Porro added a second as the European champions secured a place in Sunday’s final.
Spain will face either Argentina or England in New York, with the two teams set to play the second semi-final later today.
