Saudi Arabia vs Spain Live Score: The team sheets are out! Yamal started for Spain

More news confirmed from the Spanish camp: teenage superstar Lamine Yamal has been named in Luis de la Fuente’s starting XI, shaking off his hamstring issue to inject some much-needed magic into the attack.

De la Fuente made significant changes from the side that drew a blank against Cape Verde, with Pedro Porro in the backline and Alex Baena starting in a dynamic midfield setup.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia boss Georgios Donis made two tactical tweaks to the team that drew with Uruguay. Ali Lajami anchors the defense, while Nasser Al-Dawsari mans the midfield.
