Yamal's Leg: A Glimpse into Spain's World Cup Woes Lamine Yamal, the 19 year old right wing sensation for Spain's national team, limped off the pitch after their semifinal victory over France and sat out of training drills on Thursday.
The move has raised concerns about his left leg's well being.
The Spanish coaching staff has attributed Yamal's absence to a "workload management plan," but this explanation seems hollow given the team's emphasis on building momentum heading into the final.
