Barcelona's 18-year-old winger Yamal and Athletic Bilbao's Williams both missed the end of their club seasons due to hamstring injuries, but their health has significantly improved.

However, according to Spanish media, they will not start against Cape Verde. Instead, De La Fuente will field Alex Baena and Ferran Torres, just as he did in the warm-up match against Peru.
