Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has hinted that teenage forward Lamine Yamal will see an increased workload in their upcoming Group H fixture against Saudi Arabia.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s clash at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the manager confirmed he is carefully evaluating the 18-year-old’s physical condition alongside medical staff.

When explicitly asked by reporters if the Barcelona starlet could feature for approximately 45 minutes, De la Fuente responded positively, stating it would “surely” be something like that.
