Lamine Yamal continues recovery programme at Barcelona facilities as Spain return approaches According to MARCA , Lamine Yamal is following a carefully planned recovery programme at the Barcelona training facilities as he works towards rejoining Spain’s squad later this week. The 19-year-old Barcelona superstar will miss tonight’s clash against Czechia but is hopeful of recovering in time for Sunday’s meeting with England at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Lamine recovering from an inflammation in his knee Lamine was one of the five Barcelona players called up by Spain manager Luis de la Fuente for their fixtures against Czechia and England in the UEFA Nations League. However, following the Catalans’ 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in La Liga, it emerged that the Spain winger has been dealing with inflammation in his knee. It prompted De la Fuente to leave him out of the travelling group for tonight’s match against Czechia, with Lamine staying back in Barcelona to focus on his recovery.

The 2026 Kopa Trophy winner’s immediate objective is to make himself available for Spain’s next fixture against England, with the La Liga meeting against Villarreal also on his mind. Issue not serious As per the report, the inflammation is not considered particularly serious, and the intention remains for Lamine to travel to Madrid on Friday and rejoin the national team. As things stand, unless there is an unexpected change in his condition, the 19-year-old attacker hopes to avoid missing any further matches. Targeting a comeback against England.

The agreement between the medical teams of both club and country has been to manage the issue carefully, with Lamine adhering to the prescribed treatment rather than attempting to accelerate his comeback. As such, there will be zero risk taken. So far this season, Lamine has played 16 matches for Barcelona, while also featuring four times for the Spanish national team during the previous international break. Managing his workload will be crucial for both club and country.
