The call-up comes after the drama between the Spanish head coach and Barcelona amid rumors that Yamal was called up injured in September.<\/p>\n<p>Barca boss Hansi Flick even criticized the Spanish football federation heavily, as he blamed them for not thinking about the health of their young footballers. Despite that, La Fuente defended his choice and shared that Lamine is in great form and the upcoming games are crucial.<\/p>\n<p>Luis shared with the media that Lamine has started the last 6 games, and that shows that he is in great form:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, the answer is easy. I watched his last match and I think that Yamal is in perfect shape,\u201d shared the Spanish head coach. \u201cFlick claimed that he is ready to be on the pitch.
