Neither Fermín nor Pedri, Lamine Yamal is left alone in the national team: 'His best friend is...'

Barça's winger faces an unexpected challenge during Spain national team's training camps

Lamine Yamal has noticed a difference during the national team's training camps. He feels a bit alone in the locker room, as his relationship with some of his teammates has changed. With Fermín, for example, as explained by El Nacional, the friendship is no longer the same.

Lamine is used to being surrounded by his closest friends, which has made his sense of loneliness even greater. Without Gavi, one of his biggest supporters, the Barça star hoped to reconnect with his other great friend. However, the reality is quite different.

Lamine Yamal's situation worries the national team

In addition to the absence of his FC Barcelona teammates, the talented winger has grown distant from a great friend on the national team. The relationship between the two has been affected. All because of a recent professional decision made by the other footballer, a situation that, according to El Nacional, has completely cooled their friendship.

The name of the footballer we're talking about is Nico Williams. Nico Williams's recent contract renewal with Athletic Club de Bilbao and his refusal to sign for FC Barcelona have created a distance with Lamine Yamal. The Barça winger has tried to understand his friend's position, but has ended up accepting that their relationship has changed.

Lamine Yamal's loneliness in the Spanish national team hasn't gone unnoticed and his teammates have completely rallied around him. Lamine is receiving unexpected affection and support from other more experienced footballers who have welcomed him in the best way. This situation shows the great unity of the national team.

Although the FC Barcelona footballer hasn't wanted to comment on the matter, a great closeness has been seen with one of the key figures. According to El Nacional, this veteran footballer is showing him all his affection and unconditional support.
