Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has confirmed that teenage star Lamine Yamal is fully fit and available to play a full match against Austria in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32. The 18-year-old Barcelona winger had his minutes managed during the group stage as he recovered from a hamstring injury suffered in April. Yamal scored once in Spain’s three group matches and is now ready for a bigger role. De la Fuente also said Yerémy Pino and Victor Muñoz are available, while Nico Williams is improving but is unlikely to feature against Austria. (PC: NDTV)
