Yamal sustained a hamstring injury on April 22 while taking a penalty for Barcelona and missed Spain's recent matches. Despite his fears about missing the tournament, the coach confirmed that Yamal is nearly recovered and may be available for selection against Cape Verde. hilogame.news
"If nothing changes, he could be ready to play against Cape Verde. That doesn't mean he'll definitely play. It might be just a few minutes or training to get match fit for the next game," said De la Fuente. Yamal himself recently expressed his fear of missing the World Cup and requested to be fit in time for the tournament.
