Spain are facing a possible fitness concern ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 final against Argentina after Lamine Yamal does not train with the main group and appears to be dealing with a thigh issue. Multiple reports say Yamal skips or limits participation in team practice sessions, including not being present with Spain’s main training group on Friday. Photographs described by outlets show heavy strapping on his left thigh, and one report notes he is seen limping following Spain’s 2–1 semifinal win over France. Another source says Yamal did not fully participate in Thursday’s practice, reinforcing the concern that he is not fully fit. As Spain prepare for the final, the situation remains unresolved, with Yamal’s availability depending on his fitness and the outcome of any assessments by the team’s medical staff. No specific diagnosis is reported in the provided coverage, but the consistent theme across outlets is that Yamal’s limited training and visible thigh strapping raise doubts about his ability to play.
