Semi-finalist of the Euro U17 with Spain last June, Lamine Yamal (16 years old) impresses with FC Barcelona. The young right winger has made 4 appearances this season for 2 offerings with the Blaugrana. This allowed him to discover the Spanish selection and there again, he distinguished himself during his two capes, also scoring his first achievement with La Roja. A phenomenon of precocity, he is eligible for the 2023 U17 World Cup which will take place in Indonesia from November 10 to December 2.

A competition that he should not compete in according to Marca. Indeed, the dates of the competition are in the middle of the season and the fact that Xavi is counting on him for La Liga and the Champions League reduces this possibility. For there to be hope, FC Barcelona would have to qualify very quickly for the 1/8 finals of the Champions League and Spain would have to qualify for the Euro before the November break. A prospect that is not guaranteed.
