Lamine Yamal wrapped up a demanding season with Barcelona, which was followed by a successful World Cup 2026 campaign with Spain. After traveling through the USA, Mexico, and Canada, where he contributed to Spain’s title win, the forward was granted a three-week break alongside his national teammates.
Despite the official break from matches, Yamal has kept up with his training. His girlfriend, Ines Garcia, shared videos on Instagram showing him working out in his Spain training kit. The caption read, “In reality we’re not really on vacation…”, highlighting his dedication to maintaining his physical condition.
Earlier in the season, Yamal missed several weeks due to a hamstring injury but managed to recover in time for the World Cup, playing in all of Spain’s fixtures during the tournament. He is scheduled to return to Barcelona next month to begin preparations for the La Liga opener against Elche on August 23rd.
This level of commitment and discipline during his time off indicates his clear intention to continue his development with Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
