Yamal could be ready for Spain's World Cup opener

Yamal won't feature in Thursday's match against Iraq, but De la Fuente stated the injury is almost healed. 'If nothing changes, he can be ready to play against Cape Verde. That doesn't mean he will definitely play. Maybe it will be a few minutes, maybe just training to get match fit for the next match,' the coach said. sweetbonanza.qpon

The 18-year-old Barcelona star sustained the hamstring injury while taking a penalty on April 22. Yamal has expressed fear about missing the World Cup, saying he hopes to be fit in time.
