Spain have Yamal back for cracker with England: 'Perhaps the best international match'

Yamal returns from knee injury and is fit for Sunday's Nations League clash against England, with Spain seeking to extend their 43-match unbeaten run.

Former, Monaco manager Luis de la Fuente confirmed on Saturday that Lamine Yamal has recovered from knee problems and will be available for Sunday's Nations League match against England. Yamal missed the previous fixture against Czech Republic due to the injury but is now ready to play.

De la Fuente said at his press conference: "It goes well and everyone can play tomorrow," with the only absence being Alejandro Grimaldo, who is ill. Spain need just a point to finish top of Group A3 but, as always, aim to win. The world champions are on a 43-match unbeaten streak in international football, a world record, and 44 games unbeaten in official matches.

De la Fuente expects a high-quality encounter between the two sides' contrasting styles. "The match tomorrow will perhaps be one of the best international matches ever, or perhaps the very best," he said, describing it as a potential "final" where Spain continue their obsessive pursuit of excellence.
