If the case of Kylian MbappĂ© is causing a lot of talk in France, that of Lamine Yamal occupies a good place in the debates and discussions on the Spanish side. The FC Barcelona player will not be present on Thursday during Spain’s trip to the Czech Republic to play its match on the 5th day of the Nations League (8:45 p.m.). No serious injury on the horizon, but rest validated by the La Roja coach. Enough to make a little rumble.
Luis de la Fuente thus confirmed that he preferred to leave Lamine Yamal alone after the latter received a blow to the knee during the La Liga clash won by the Blaugrana on Sunday at Atlético de Madrid (1-2, 12th day). And it was not the coach who was targeted by criticism, but the player himself.
A place conducive to the spectacle, the show El Chiringuito respected its reputation when Edu Aguirre targeted Lamine Yamal, accusing him quite simply of choosing his matches. “If you’re not here for Thursday’s game, then you’re not coming to play Sunday’s game. That’s all. Are you injured? You’re not coming. I don’t like these Ă la carte selections. »
Lamine Yamal, an absence that sparks debate
And the journalist concludes with a final dig at the Barcelona prodigy. “So yes, it’s definitely more fun to play against England at the Metropolitano. A little less traveling to the Czech Republic. » For other observers, what would be a choice by Lamine Yamal sounds like a very negative message sent to other players.
On the side of the Spanish selection, Luis de la Fuente wanted to say and repeat that he was the one and only decision-maker in this matter and that Lamine Yamal “was ready to play”.
