Lamine Yamal will not play with Spain in the last two games of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, against Georgia and Turkey, and has been recalled by coach Luis de la Fuente after learning with “surprise” and “discomfort” that he underwent on Monday, without informing the national team, an “invasive radiofrequency procedure” for the pubalgia he has been suffering from.
“The Medical Services of the RFEF wish to express their surprise and discomfort after learning at 13:47 hours on Monday, November 10, the day of the start of the official training camp with the national team, that the player Lamine Yamal had undergone an invasive radiofrequency procedure for the treatment of his pubic discomfort that morning,” the Federation said in a statement.
RFEF expresses its discomfort
For its part, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) provides all the details in its letter.
He has done this in every piece of medical information he has released since the statements of Barcelona coach Hansi Flick.
In them, after the September window, he assured that De la Fuente “does not take care of the players”.
He mentioned this because of Lamine Yamal’s injured return to Barcelona.
After participating with Spain in two games with discomfort that led to pubalgia.
“Said procedure has been carried out without prior communication to the medical staff of the National Team.”
“Having knowledge of the details thereof only through a report received at 22:40 hours last night.”
“In which the medical recommendation of rest for 7-10 days is indicated,” reported the RFEF.
Yamal returns to Barcelona to recover
Thus, given the proximity of the matches in Tbilisi against Georgia, next Saturday, and against Turkey in Seville, on Tuesday, November 18, De la Fuente has recalled Lamine Yamal.
To conclude with this issue, the player returned to Barcelona on Tuesday for treatment at his club.
“Given this situation, and prioritizing at all times the health, safety and welfare of the player, the Royal Spanish Football Federation has taken the decision to release the athlete from the present call.”
“We are confident that he will be able to evolve favorably and we wish him a speedy and complete recovery,” the Federation said.
