Spain boss De la Fuente shocked by Yamal procedure - Soccer News
"The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed on Tuesday that Yamal had been released from the squad ahead of their upcoming fixtures against Georgia and Turkie. Yamal has been dealing with niggling injuries all season, with Barcelona's teenage superstar currently coping with an issue in his groin and pubic area. An RFEF statement explained that, without the knowledge of the organisation's medical staff, Yamal had undergone a procedure on the injury on Monday."
"There are procedures that happen outside the RFEF - that's what happens, that's the way it is and we have to accept it, But I've never experienced a situation like this before. I don't think it's very normal. Of course, it surprised me, as it did everyone else. You don't hear anything, you don't know any details, and I insist, when it comes to health and fitness issues, you're left surprised."
Lamine Yamal was released from Spain's squad ahead of qualifiers against Georgia and Turkey after undergoing a medical procedure without the RFEF's knowledge. The RFEF confirmed the procedure took place on Monday and said their medical staff had not been informed. Yamal has carried niggling injuries all season, currently coping with a groin and pubic issue. Coach Luis de la Fuente expressed surprise, calling the situation unusual and noting the lack of details around a health matter. Spain need four points from their last two qualifiers to guarantee World Cup qualification. Jorge de Frutos was called up as Yamal's replacement.
