Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has denied claims Lamine Yamal received "special privileges" after being allowed to join the national team later than the rest of the squad.

The 19-year-old did not travel with Spain for Thursday's Nations League match against the Czech Republic because of discomfort and inflammation in his right knee following Barcelona's La Liga victory over Atletico Madrid, remaining in Barcelona to work with the club's medical staff.
