Spain boss Luis de la Fuente risks Barcelona's wrath as he speaks out on Lamine Yamal's game time

UEFA Nations League A

<p>Yamal, 17, played the full 90 minutes as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lamine-yamal-dazzles-spain-stumble-frustrating-draw-serbia-nations-league-opener/blt750e6f07f101958c" target="_blank">Spain opened their Nations League campaign with a 0-0 draw against Serbia</a> on Thursday. The winger started all four of Barca's La Liga games this season, too, racking up 356 minutes already.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Yamal played an important role in Spain's Euro 2024 success, starting all but one of La Roja's games as they went on to beat England in the final. Since he did not have a proper summer break, there are concerns about his workload at such a young age, but De la Fuente remained defiant when asked about him.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told reporters: "It's a blessing to have a player like Lamine Yamal who has the ability to play so many games. Lamine is perfect."</p><p>When asked about clubs' hoping their players will be given a rest, he said: "Well, if we can't play 180 minutes in September, then let me know. We put our best players in because we have the great responsibility of representing our country. Besides, it would be very unfair to give minutes to players based on their origin. I won't do that."</p><p></p>

WHAT DE LA FUENTE SAID

<p>It appears Yamal can expect to be included in the starting XI when Spain take on Switzerland in their second Nations League game on Sunday.</p>
