It is not only in France that the coach of the national team must play elbows in the face of club disputes. In Spain, this is also the case, and when it comes to Lamine Yamal, the resonance is even stronger. The latest news, the 18 -year -old prodigy seemed to be better since his injury to the groin that he had aggravated in the last international truce. Nevertheless, FC Barcelona would have liked to avoid losing it for the next gathering, when it has only an hour and a half of play in the legs since its return.
A priori, Luis de la Fuente should not access the demand of Catalan leaders. This Friday, the Spanish press agrees that the Roja coach will call Lamine Yamal for the two qualifying meetings at the World Cup against Georgia, October 11, and Bulgaria, the 14th.

The first had lumbar pain, which aroused public criticism from Hansi Flick, and the club has officially filed a complaint with the RFEF (…) remains to be seen whether Lamine himself, during the conversation he had with Fuente, asked him to be present (for the next gathering). It would completely change the situation.»»
The cloth still burns between BarƧa and the federation
