Yamal Ready for 60 Minutes in Spain's Second Match

The biggest question mark hanging over the Spanish national team's camp is when Lamine Yamal will be fully fit to contribute to their World Cup campaign.

"He can play an hour," head coach Luis de la Fuente told radio "Cope" regarding the upcoming second match against Saudi Arabia, without specifying whether the winger would start or come off the bench.

The match is scheduled for Sunday at 7:00 PM Bulgarian time (EEST).

Yamal himself admitted he isn't ready for a full match. "It's too early; I'm still in an adaptation period. I'm not ready to play a whole game, but I will play the minutes the coach assigns me," said the 18-year-old Barcelona player, as quoted by BTA.

Despite the opening draw against Cape Verde (0-0), the Spaniards remain confident in their form. "We've never had doubts. We know our level and our objectives. We didn't play a good match, but now our batteries are recharged, and we're eager to show a good performance," stated Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsí.
