Yamal in Spain’s World Cup
- Spain named Lamine Yamal to its 26-player World Cup squad despite a hamstring injury that has kept him out since late April.
- Luis de la Fuente also recalled Gavi and Mikel Merino, betting that injured returnees can be ready for the tournament.
- The shock is who is missing: no Real Madrid player made Spain's World Cup list for the first time in tournament history.
- Dean Huijsen was dropped with an injury, and Dani Carvajal was left out after an injury-hit season.
