Lamine Yamal has been named in Spain’s provisional squad for UEFA Euro 2024, while Barcelona team-mate Fermin Lopez is one of two players without Luis de la Fuente’s cap.
The 16-year-old headlines a relatively young 29-man La Roja side that must be whittled down to 26 by June 7 ahead of the tournament in Germany.
Yamal became Spain’s youngest-ever player and goalscorer when he found the net on his debut against Georgia last September at 16 years and 50 days and has been Barca’s standout performer this season.
He is joined in the squad by teammates Pedri, Pau Cubarsi, Ferran Torres, and Fermin, who was handed his first senior call-up by De la Fuente, who also impressed during his first campaign in LaLiga.
The same can be said of Real Betis striker Ayoz Pérez, who has scored 11 goals for Los Verdiblancos this term, but Marco Asensio, Pedro Perro, Pau Torres and Kepa Arrizabalaga are notable absentees, with Gavi also missing through injury.
