Lamine Yamal trains separately before 2026 World Cup Final
Spain star Lamine Yamal has raised injury concerns after being seen training alone with a thigh bandage ahead of the final against Argentina.
Spain faces uncertainty regarding the fitness of their star forward ahead of the most important match of the year. Lamine Yamal was spotted training away from the main group with a noticeable bandage on his left thigh, just days before the 2026 World Cup Final.
This physical issue is not new for the coaching staff. The young Barcelona attacker sustained a left hamstring injury on April 22nd while taking a penalty for his club. Since then, the national team coaches have carefully managed his minutes during the group stage to allow his recovery while maintaining his competitive rhythm.
To date, the medical staff of the Spanish national team has not issued an official statement confirming or ruling out the player for Sunday's crucial match against Argentina. The lack of specific updates has caused deep concern among fans, who fear the injury could prevent him from playing in the final and potentially impact his short-term career.
