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".
Reminder: The 17-year-old Yamal is the youngest player in Spain's history and the youngest scorer in European international competitions. He was a key player for Spain during Euro 2024, where he was named the tournament’s best young player.
