Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has likened Barcelona whiz Lamine Yamal to Diego Maradona.
The 16 year-old has retained his place in De la Fuente’s squad.
The coach said: “There are footballers who knock down the door before others.
“He [Yamal] has exceptional conditions and his performance will determine what we can give him.
“Remember when Messi or Maradona played when they were 16? Now it seems sacrilegious to debate whether they should play when they are 16 years old. You don’t have to set limits for players like that.”
