The Spanish national team's squad situation has shifted dramatically right before their debut match at the 2026 World Cup against Cape Verde.
Details: According to Cadena SER, star wingers Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal will be available for the upcoming clash. However, they won't be in the starting lineup—Spain's medical and coaching staff have decided to play it safe, so both wingers will begin the game on the bench and are expected to get limited minutes in the second half.
Fans of La Roja are especially encouraged by the condition of Barcelona's young prodigy. Reports indicate that Lamine Yamal is feeling fantastic, having fully shaken off his previous muscle issues.
It's worth noting that Spain will face Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and Cape Verde in their World Cup group.
Reminder: Spain's captain Mikel Oyarzabal could miss the World Cup due to injury.
