  • Spain's national soccer team held its final training session before facing Saudi Arabia in their second World Cup match.
  • Coach Luis de la Fuente is considering changes to the starting lineup following a zero-zero draw in their debut against Cabo Verde.
  • Player Lamine Yamal is expected to play around 60 minutes, with his starting status against Saudi Arabia a key decision.

The Spanish national soccer team conducted its final training session in Kennesaw, Georgia, preparing for their crucial World Cup match against Saudi Arabia. Following a disappointing 0-0 draw in their opening game against Cabo Verde, coach Luis de la Fuente is reportedly contemplating several changes to the starting lineup.

A significant point of consideration for De la Fuente is the involvement of young talent Lamine Yamal. The coach has previously indicated that Yamal is fit to play approximately 60 minutes, making his inclusion in the starting XI against Saudi Arabia a central question. The team's performance in the final training session will likely shape the final decisions on the lineup.

Adding to the team's challenges, player Víctor Muñoz continued his specialized recovery process. Muñoz sustained another muscle injury on Thursday, which postpones his World Cup debut. The timeline for his return remains uncertain and will depend on how far Spain progresses in the tournament.
