De la fuente plans Yamal to play 15-20 minutes in first game, 30 minutes in second

According to Sport, the Spanish national team has planned Yamal's playing time, and Unai Simón will be the starting goalkeeper.

Reportedly, there is general optimism regarding Yamal's condition, but the team will be very cautious. Barcelona can rest assured that Yamal will not be risked, and he has recovered from a hamstring injury to his left leg.

De la Fuente has decided to have Yamal return in Monday's match against Cape Verde, playing only 15 to 20 minutes to help him regain match rhythm, although the specific playing time will be adjusted based on the game's progress.

Subsequently, in the match against Saudi Arabia, Yamal is expected to play at least half an hour. Both matches are designed to gradually bring him up to speed, so he is ready when the truly important games arrive.

Nico Williams and Víctor Muñoz will also follow a similar rhythm, although Víctor Muñoz will primarily play the role of a super-sub in this FIFA World Cup.

This way, De la Fuente can prepare all players for the match against Cape Verde as he envisions, most likely by continuing with the starting lineup from the match against Peru, with only one question mark between Baena and Olmo.

For the remaining positions, there is no suspense in goal; Unai Simón will continue as the starting goalkeeper, with Raya and Joan García as backups. The competition for the goalkeeper position in the Spanish team will be fierce.

The defense will consist of Llorente, Cubarsi, Laporte, and Cucurella, the midfield will be Rodri, Fabian Ruiz, and Pedri, and in the attack, besides the question mark between Baena and Olmo, Ferran Torres will be on the right wing, and Oyarzabal will play in the center.
