Spain manager Luis de la Fuente has proclaimed his confidence that Lamine Yamal will be healthy enough to play a part in the country’s World Cup opener against Cabo Verde on June 15.
A nasty hamstring injury suffered in mid-April initially had many fearing Yamal would be forced to miss this summer’s tournament. Thankfully, while the damage was severe enough to end his La Liga campaign early, a return towards the end of June was soon established as a likely outcome.
