Overview
- Oyarzabal scored twice and set up Lamine Yamal in Spain’s 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia, a performance that underlined his form and influence for the national side on June 21.
- Spain coach Luis de la Fuente and Oyarzabal have both confirmed a knee niggle is not tournament-ending and the forward says he feels sore but fit and wants to start against Uruguay.
- Spain sit top of Group H and can secure first place with a win over Uruguay or a draw provided Cape Verde do not beat Saudi Arabia by a margin large enough to overtake them.
- Yamal remains a managed presence after a left hamstring tear in April, with club and national medical teams limiting his load to reduce relapse risk while preserving his match impact.
- Transfer talk linking Oyarzabal to Barcelona has grown during the tournament but the player has downplayed the rumours, saying he is focused on Real Sociedad and Spain for the World Cup.
