Will Lamine Yamal Play in the 2026 World Cup?

Spain's national team for the World Cup has recently been revealed, and Yamal was selected for the 26-man roster. Yamal is one of eight Barcelona players in the Spain squad.

On PrizePicks Team Picks, a prediction of “No” on Yamal to play in the 2026 World Cup returns a 33.33x payout.

Ahead of the World Cup, recent reports revealed that Yamal would be inactive for Spain’s first group-stage match on June 15 against Cape Verde due to a hamstring injury he suffered in April. 

However, Spain manager Luis de la Fuente recently iterated that all the players selected to the squad would be ready for the first or second group-stage match, so it may not be a lengthy absence for Yamal — if he even misses time.
