Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has been removed from Spain's squad for upcoming European Championship qualifying games, the Spanish soccer federation said Tuesday.
The federation said tests have determined that the 16-year-old Yamal won't be able to play in Spain's matches against Scotland on Thursday and Norway on Sunday. It did not give details.
Yamal was replaced in the second half of Barcelona's 2-2 draw at Granada in the Spanish league on Sunday. The Catalan club said he had a hip flexor injury.
