Spain names World Cup squad without Real Madrid stars as Yamal eyes debut
Spain’s 2026 World Cup squad is announced with no Real Madrid players for the first time; Lamine Yamal is included and set for his World Cup debut despite a hamstring issue that could see him miss the opener, while Gavi returns from injury and Barcelona’s Pubill and Cubarsi earn their first senior calls. Huijsen and Le Normand miss out as the team faces Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay in Group F.
