Will Lamine Yamal play tonight for Spain vs Iraq in International Friendly?

The 18-year-old has scored six goals in 25 matches for La Roja.

The Spain national football team are now going to have a face-off against the Iraq national football team at the Riazor Stadium. These sides will be looking to perform well ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

La Roja are unbeaten in their last eight matches and this will be a perfect opportunity for them to keep their form going. Luis de la Fuente’s men will be pushing for another win and being at home will put them at an advantage from the start.

After competing against Iraq, the Spain national football team will take on Peru for their last friendly encounter ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026. They have a strong squad and are not looking to back down at the moment. La Roja are also one of the favourites to win the prestigious title. They last lifted the flagship trophy in 2010.

Will Lamine Yamal play against Iraq?

The young Barcelona star was named in Spain’s World Cup squad. But he is currently on the sidelines and recovering from an injury.

So he will not feature for his national team tonight for the friendly against Iraq.

Instead of Lamine Yamal, Yeremy Pino is likely to start on the right flank. The Crystal Palace winger will be looking to give his all and come up with a top performance.

The 18-year-old might also miss the next friendly against Peru. As per Spain’s head coach, Luis de la Fuente, Lamine Yamal will be fit in time to start during the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Stars like Borja Iglesias and Yeremy Pino are going to play an important role in the final third. Midfielders like Martin Zubimendi, Fabian Ruiz, Gavi and others will be looking to establish control on the field. Making the defensive wall strong are Eric Garcia and Pau Cubarsi. Between the posts, Unai Simon is most likely to start.
