Spain Set to Miss Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal Against Czechia in Nations League

The Spanish Football Federation has confirmed that Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal will miss Spain’s upcoming UEFA Nations League fixture against Czechia due to fitness concerns.

In a statement, the federation said Barcelona’s young winger Yamal is experiencing discomfort in his right knee following his team’s 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Spanish league on Sunday.

It also confirmed that Real Sociedad striker Oyarzabal is in the final stages of recovery from influenza.

The federation added that both players are expected to return to training camp in the coming days, with the aim of being available for Sunday’s clash against England at the Metropolitano Stadium.

Spain, the reigning 2026 FIFA World Cup champions, have already secured qualification for the quarter-finals of League A in the Nations League after winning their opening four matches in Group C. They will travel to

face Czechia on Thursday before hosting second-placed England in Madrid on Sunday.
