Yamal fit but will not start Spain's World Cup opener, says De la Fuente

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente confirmed that 18-year-old Lamine Yamal is fit but will start on the bench for Spain's World Cup opener against Cape Verde. Yamal has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury on April 22, raising concerns he could miss the team's first two World Cup matches. De la Fuente indicated Yamal's inclusion on the bench is conditional on his fitness, stating he would not even sit there if that were not the case.
