Spain coach De la Fuente to call up Barcelona superkid Lamine Yamal

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente is set to call up Barcelona superkid Lamine Yamal.

The 16 year-old also qualifies for Morocco, but the Spanish Federation is confident of Yamal's commitment.

AS says he will be called up by De la Fuente for the Euro qualifying matches against Georgia and Cyprus on September 8 and 12, respectively.

The Federation, headed by Tito Blanco, grassroots football coordinator, and Francis Hernández, technical director and coordinator of national teams, met with the player in Barcelona today to inform him of their intention to call him up.

If Lamine makes his debut in either of the games, he will be the youngest debutant in the history of the Spanish national team, surpassing his teammate at Barcelona Gavi, who did it at 17 and 62 days in the Nations League in 2021.
