Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has addressed the ongoing debate regarding Lamine Yamal’s usage for club and country. The manager dismissed suggestions of preferential treatment for the young forward, describing such reports as lies as preparations continue for the upcoming match against England in Madrid.
The encounter at the Metropolitano stadium marks a reunion for several players who were honored at a major awards ceremony three weeks ago. England's Harry Kane travels to the Spanish capital having recently secured both the Ballon d’Or and the Gerd Müller trophy.
Spain’s lineup will also feature individual award winners, including goalkeeper Unai Simón, the current holder of the Yashin Trophy. Despite the distractions surrounding player management, De la Fuente is focused on the high-profile fixture which brings together some of the game's most decorated current stars.
