Lamine Yamal makes a remarkable recovery ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

TPO - The Spanish national team has just received extremely positive news. Young star Lamine Yamal, who caused great concern when he suffered an injury at the end of the La Liga season, is making excellent progress in his health and is expected to be in perfect physical condition for the 2026 World Cup.

In late April, Yamal suffered a serious hamstring injury (a left biceps injury), forcing him to prematurely end the remainder of his club season. At the time, initial diagnoses predicted Yamal would be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, raising fears that he would miss the world's biggest football tournament, given the imminent start of the season.

However, the latest news from the medical team has dispelled all doubts. Lamine Yamal's recovery is progressing much faster and more smoothly than initially expected.

Doctors have confirmed that his physical condition is improving significantly and he is fully capable of participating in the World Cup without any complications. In fact, the coaching staff is very optimistic about his ability to start in the opening match of the tournament.

Although Yamal is recovering well, the Spanish national team is taking utmost caution to protect his health and avoid the risk of recurrence. Coach Luis de la Fuente has decided not to risk using him in the upcoming friendly matches against Iraq and Peru. La Roja's ultimate goal is to allow Yamal to continue his recovery and regain 100% fitness for the official match against Cape Verde on June 15th.

The 18-year-old prodigy himself is aware of the situation. He declared while watching the Real Betis vs. Barca match early this morning: "I won't touch a ball from now until the World Cup starts."

Yamal's healthy return is crucial for Spain. Not only does he possess exceptional talent, but he is also a tactical linchpin in coach De la Fuente's system thanks to his ability to disrupt the opponent's defense, create space, and initiate direct play. Having Yamal in top form will undoubtedly give the Spanish national team a huge boost in their ambition to conquer the World Cup.
