The return of the star pair was met with high spirits within the camp as the European champions finalised their preparations. Team-mates celebrated Yamal and Williams’ recuperation by inviting them to run the gauntlet at the start of Thursday’s training session. The upbeat atmosphere continued as goalkeeper Unai Simon followed the two to celebrate his birthday.
With Yamal and Williams back in the fold, Spain can now focus on the tactical nuances required for their Group H campaign. The blend of youth and experience in the squad has made them one of the pre-tournament favourites, and having their full complement of attacking talent available significantly strengthens that claim.
