Nations League: Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal miss Spain's Czech clash

Barcelona winger Yamal reported a problem with his right knee following Sunday's 2-1 La Liga victory over Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish football federation (RFEF) confirmed that the teenager had "reported discomfort in his right knee", while Real Sociedad forward Oyarzabal "is in the final phase of a bout of flu".

However, Spain are hopeful both players will recover in time to face England on Sunday at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid.

"Both players will join the training camp in the coming days so they can be available to face England," the RFEF added.

World champions Spain have already secured their place in the Nations League quarter-finals. They will visit the Czech Republic on Thursday before hosting England in their final fixture.
