Just days before the 2026 World Cup final against Argentina, Spanish fans can breathe a sigh of relief. Lamine Yamal, who missed a recent training session and was seen with his thigh bandaged, is fit and ready to play.

Head coach Luis De La Fuente eased concerns by confirming that the young sensation has no physical issues. "Lamine is fine. All the players trained normally today," assured the Spanish manager. Yamal's absence, along with that of Pedro Porro, had sparked speculation about their availability for the most crucial match of the tournament. Both players are now expected to feature in the final.

Individually, Yamal has had a relatively quiet World Cup, scoring just one goal in seven appearances. The 19-year-old winger will have the chance to make his mark in the final, scheduled for Sunday at MetLife Stadium against an Argentina side led by Lionel Messi.
