Yamal not ready for 90 minutes as Spain face Saudi Arabia

Yamal not ready for 90 minutes against Saudi Arabia

Spain's star attacker Lamine Yamal admitted he is not fit to play a full match when Spain face your team Sunday. "Het is nog erg vroeg," he told reporters, it is still very early (2) (3). Yamal returned from a long injury layoff just before the tournament and is still building fitness. That is a real opening for Saudi Arabia in this Group H match.

Spain await in a match that can open the door

Saudi Arabia play Spain on Sunday in their second Group H match (1). The stakes are clear: a result here puts the Green Falcons in a strong position to reach the round of 32. The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami hosts this one, and Spain arrived with questions, Yamal's fitness, travel chaos in the group, and a camp that has looked less than settled.

The Uruguay opener set the tone

Your team opened the tournament against Uruguay, and a disciplined performance would have been the target. Uruguay's build-up was messy, travel delays, Bielsa's well-documented tension with his squad, and Saudi Arabia's job was to exploit any cracks. This group was always going to be about taking points where you can, and the Spain match now becomes the moment that defines the campaign.
