Yamal to lead Spain at 2026 World Cup

The official squad for Spain's national team at the 2026 World Cup includes for the first time in the tournament's history the absence of any Real Madrid players, due to injuries within the club. Coach Luis de la Fuente has relied on players from other clubs, with Mikel Merino returning after recovery from injury, and several young talents and experienced players being called up. Meanwhile, star Yalam Yamal faces the risk of missing the initial matches due to a hamstring injury.
