Spain coach De la Fuente confirms Yamal & Oyarzabal back to face England

Madrid, Nov 13 (UNI) Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has confirmed that striker Mikel Oyarzabal and winger Lamine Yamal will join the squad ahead of Sunday's decisive UEFA Nations League group-stage match at home to England.

Spain won 2-0 away to the Czech Republic on Thursday without the attacking duo. Yamal had withdrawn from the squad with a minor knee problem, while Oyarzabal was absent due to flu
and the recent birth of his child.
Speaking after the victory, which was secured by an Alex Baena penalty and a late goal from Marc Pubill, De la Fuente confirmed that both players would join their teammates on Friday, according to Xinhua.
"We have very good news. Both of them are going to join the training camp -- both Lamine and Oyarzabal," he told reporters.
"Mikel hasn't been with us because he has become a parent, but he is coming now and he will be grateful for it, because he will be able to sleep very well, and Lamine is looking forward to being with the squad," De la Fuente explained.
Spain had already secured its place in the Nations League quarter-finals before Thursday's victory, while England also qualified for the last eight with a 2-1 home win over Croatia on Thursday.
