Barcelona’s 16-year-old Yamal gets first senior Spain call-up

MADRID: Barcelona’s 16-year-old forward Lamine Yamal received a first senior call-up for Spain, as manager Luis de la Fuente named his squad on Friday for next week’s Euro 2024 Group A matches against Georgia and Cyprus. Yamal has established himself as an important part of Barca’s forward line in the early stages of the season, and was named man of the match in last weekend’s 4-3 come-from-behind win at Villarreal in LaLiga. Yamal, who has a Moroccan father, was born and raised in Spain. He is a Spain youth international and his call-up for the senior side will end the hopes of Moroccan fans that he could be persuaded to switch allegiance. “We met him in Barcelona. He was a stalwart of Spain’s youth teams and is a footballer with exceptional power. He looks like he has been touched by the wand of God. He is different,” De la Fuente told a press conference on Friday. “We look at the level of the player, not the age. He is ready to compete at the highest level. He is a very important asset for the future.”
