Tue Oct 15 21:44:30 UTC 2024: ## Spain’s Injury Woes Continue as Yamal Joins Growing List of Absentees for Serbia Clash

Spain’s hopes for a victory over Serbia in their Nations League clash on Tuesday have been hampered by a growing injury crisis. The European champions are now without seven key players, including the latest addition, 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal, who suffered a hamstring strain in their previous game.

Yamal’s absence adds to the already lengthy list of injured players that includes Nico Williams, Unai Simon, Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Rodri, and Dani Olmo, all of whom played crucial roles in Spain’s recent Euro 2024 success.

Despite the significant losses, Spain’s manager, Luis de la Fuente, remains confident in his squad’s ability to secure a vital win. He emphasized the importance of “stepping up” and highlighted the strength of the players who are still available.

“We have to play eleven and whoever replaces him will want to make a statement,” De la Fuente said about replacing Yamal. “Whoever has to replace him, I’m sure they will do it very well.”

A win against Serbia would put Spain within touching distance of qualifying for the next stage of the Nations League. However, the team will need to overcome a challenging obstacle in the form of a depleted squad and a determined Serbian opponent.
