New York New Jersey Stadium: Spain forward Lamine Yamal has overcome fitness concerns and will be available for Sunday's World Cup final against Argentina, head coach Luis de la Fuente said.

Yamal, 19, was seen limping after Spain's 2-0 win over France in the semifinals and missed his team's training session on Thursday.

"He had a strong knock, which was very painful," De la Fuente was quoted by Xinhua as saying. "Just to err on the side of caution, we decided to give him some rest. He was fine in training today. He participated with his teammates. He is fine and in optimal condition."
