Lamine Yamal, recently 16, might be called up by Luis de la Fuente in La Roja’s next list. The Iberian selection would like to block the prodigy of Barça, also selectable by Morocco and Equatorial Guinea.
And you, what were you doing at 16 and a month? Lamine Yamal, he might well be summoned with the Spanish selection, understands Sports world.
The comet of FC Barcelona, who has just joined the Catalan rotation and has only three appearances in the team coached by Xavi (one coming into play at the end of last season and another at the start of this season, a first tenure on Sunday once morest Cadiz), should be next week the big surprise on Luis Rubiales’ list for La Roja’s two matches, once morest Georgia (September 8) and Cyprus (September 12).
A purposeful absence from the U18 list?
This ultra-early summons might be explained by the Spanish desire to secure the future of the dazzling winger, born in Catalonia and who is also selectable by Morocco, his father’s country, and Equatorial Guinea, his mother’s country. His absence from the latest list of U18s, unveiled on Tuesday by category coach José Lana, further reinforces the possibility of seeing him propelled directly to the A.
Already the youngest player in history to evolve with the Spanish U19 selection last October, at the height of his 15 years, the one who is starting to be compared to Lionel Messi might break a new record of precocity.
He is already stacking them with Barça: at 15 years and 290 days, Yamal had already become at the end of April the youngest Catalan player to play a professional match, since April 29 once morest Betis Sevilla (4-0), at 15 years, 9 months and 16 days. He is also the youngest holder in La Liga or the youngest champion in the history of the Spanish Championship.
