Spain have been handed a major injury concern ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final, with growing uncertainty surrounding Lamine Yamal"s availability after the young star appeared to suffer an injury during training.

According to reports, Yamal experienced discomfort during Spain"s final preparations, prompting the team"s medical staff to assess his condition. While the Spanish Football Federation has yet to issue an official statement regarding the severity of the injury, his fitness has quickly become one of the biggest talking points ahead of the final.

The 18-year-old has been one of Spain"s standout performers throughout the tournament, playing a key role in the team"s journey to the final with his pace, creativity, and ability to create scoring opportunities. His potential absence would be a significant setback for head coach Luis de la Fuente as Spain prepares for its biggest match of the competition.

Coaching staff are expected to monitor Yamal closely over the coming hours before making a final decision on his availability.

The team is hopeful that the injury is not serious enough to rule him out, although no confirmation has been given.

Fans have taken to social media to express their concern, with many hoping the Barcelona winger will recover in time for the final. His performances throughout the tournament have made him one of the breakout stars of the 2026 World Cup and an important part of Spain"s attacking plans.

Spain will continue its preparations while awaiting further medical updates, with the final squad decision expected closer to kickoff.
