Spain’s World Cup roster, which notably lacks Real Madrid players for the first time in the country’s history, includes injured Barcelona star Lamine Yamal.
After ripping his left hamstring on April 22 while playing for Barcelona, the 18-year-old was sidelined for the last month of the season.
Dani Carvajal and Dean Huijsen, two real defenders, were excluded.I don’t focus on any one club. I don’t have the same local prejudice as a fan. “It’s more global for me,” stated Luis de la Fuente, the coach of Spain.I just want these football players to be pleased to play for their country.”
The 26-man roster also includes Nico Williams, a winger for Athletic Bilbao who has been dealing with a hamstring issue.We’re at ease. We’ll have everyone available from the first game, barring any complications,” De la Fuente stated.
The World Cup will begin on June 11 and run through July 19.
In Group H, Spain will play debutants Cape Verde on June 15, Saudi Arabia on June 21, and Uruguay on June 26.
