Ready From the Start? Yamal Completes Full Training Session

Great news for Spain, and a headache for fantasy players, the star may play against Cape Verde.

A relatively surprising report came in from Spain on Thursday evening, saying that Lamine Yamal took part in a full training session and will be available to Luis de la Fuente for the European champions' opening match against Cape Verde. As you will recall, the Barcelona star was injured and was considered doubtful for the start of the tournament, and was expected to join his teammates later on, but there is a very good chance that we will see him in the lineup already in the first round. Yamal's last match was on April 22 against Celta Vigo in the Spanish league, and since then he has recovered from his injury. This is excellent news for La Roja, but a headache for fantasy players, who apparently built their teams without him. World Cup 2026
