Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s 18-year-old sensation, told reporters on June 19 that he’s not fit enough to play a full 90 minutes for Spain at the World Cup. Meanwhile, the Solana-based fan tokens trading under his name can barely muster enough volume to buy a decent dinner.
Yamal’s careful comeback
The teenager has been nursing a hamstring injury that kept him off the pitch since April. His return came in the form of a brief substitute appearance during Spain’s opening World Cup group match against Cape Verde on June 15, a game that ended in a flat 0-0 draw.
He logged roughly 19 to 24 minutes in that appearance.
“It’s not the time to play a whole match.”
