Spain is set to welcome ​back forwards Lamine Yamal and ‌Mikel Oyarzabal for Sunday’s Nations ​League match against ⁠England after the duo missed Thursday’s 2-0 win over the ‌Czech Republic, manager Luis de la Fuente ‌said.

“Lamine feels very good now and is really looking ​forward to joining ‌the squad tomorrow,” de la Fuente told Spanish television channel La 1.

Oyarzabal stayed ‌in San Sebastian to ​be present at the birth of his ⁠second child. De la Fuente confirmed that he would ‌also be part of Spain’s Friday evening training session.

“Mikel too. One will arrive at midday and the other a little ‌later, but both will be with ​us tomorrow.”

Spain has a three-point advantage over England ⁠in League A Group 3 ⁠and it will top the standings with ‌a draw or a win.

Both sides have already ​qualified for the quarterfinals.
