La Roja's Legacy: Lamine Yamal Claims the No. 10 Shirt for Spain vs. England Showdown
Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal is set to don the historic No. 10 jersey for the Spanish national team during their blockbuster UEFA Nations League clash against England at the Metropolitano Stadium, capitalizing on teammate Dani Olmo's absence.
Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo notes that squad numbering inside La Roja's camp follows strict seniority and international cap rules, which previously kept the No. 10 shirt with Olmo until injury opened the door for the Barcelona winger to match his club number. Consequently, Yamal's usual No. 19 shirt passes to Liverpool's Victor Munoz, while the final matchday squad omits several players, including flu-stricken defender Alejandro Grimaldo.
