MADRID: Teenage Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is leaving the Spain squad to avoid exacerbating a muscle strain, the Spanish Football Federation announced on Sunday.
Yamal, who limped off in the last minute as Spain beat Denmark 1-0 in the Nations League on Saturday, will miss the match against Serbia on Tuesday. “Lamine Yamal underwent an MRI scan in Madrid this morning to assess the discomfort he reported after the match against Denmark,” the Spanish football federation (RFEF) said in a statement.
