The 18-year-old Barcelona winger was selected for the World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Turkey on 15 and 18 November respectively.

The Spanish FA (RFEF) said it was not told about Lamine Yamal's procedure on Monday, the day the squad began a training camp.

Lamine Yamal scored in Barcelona's 4-2 La Liga win over Celta Vigo on Sunday before being substituted in stoppage time.
