Spain head coach explained why he replaced Yamal in the match against Switzerland

Yesterday, Spain defeated Switzerland 4-1 in their second-round match of the Nations League. Barcelona's young sensation Lamine Yamal provided an assist for Joselu early in the game but was substituted for Ferran Torres before halftime, raising concerns among fans about a possible injury.

Details: Spain’s head coach, Luis de la Fuente, clarified that Yamal's substitution was not due to an injury, but rather because of fatigue.

Quote:

"Lamine Yamal is a phenomenal player, he is obviously tired but that's normal".
