He dropped to the ground as his teammates arrived to celebrate, then appeared to grab the back of his left leg. Yamal left the field on his own after being attended by doctors. He talked briefly with coach Hansi Flick on the sidelines before walking into the locker-room tunnel by himself. The 18-year-old Yamal is set to make his World Cup debut with Spain in June.
