Spain's Yamal and Nico Williams Return to Full Training Ahead of World Cup OpenerPreviousNext

Spain's FIFA World Cup campaign received a boost as key attackers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams resumed full training at the team's Tennessee base ahead of their opener against Cape Verde on June 15. Both had missed the final warm-up due to injuries, with particular concern over Yamal's left hamstring injury since April 22. Head coach Luis de la Fuente expects Yamal to be available for the match, possibly for limited minutes, raising optimism for Spain's attacking options.
