Lamine Yamal is having a significant influence on FC Barcelona after just two games of the new season.
The 16-year-old La Masia prodigy dazzled once more this past weekend against Cadiz after making an important cameo in the previous game against Getafe.
Yamal has already achieved milestones and broken records, and if stories are to be believed, the adolescent wunderkind may soon pass another significant marker.
Will Spain call up Lamine Yamal?
Indeed, Lamine Yamal may receive his first-ever call-up to the Spain national team, according to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo.
The roster for La Roja’s upcoming matches against Georgia and Cyprus in the UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifiers should be revealed soon by manager Luis de la Fuente.
Yamal, who is only 16 years old, may receive an unexpected call-up to the senior national team squad, according to the report.
This comes after the adolescent prodigy was recently left off the squad list for the Spain Under-18 team, which also included a number of other Barcelona young players.
Yamal was likely left out of the U-18 set up so as not to jeopardize his breakthrough with Barcelona, although De la Fuente might yet call him up for the senior setup.Considering that Morocco reportedly wants to recruit Yamal to play for them, Spain is eager for him to continue representing them internationally.
It would be interesting to watch if Yamal breaks through for Spain’s U-17 team at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in November later this year.
