In April, Yamal suffered a thigh muscle injury and only made his comeback in the opening match against Cape Verde.

Now, in the round of sixteen against Austria (at 9 PM in the LIVE ticker and in the Watchparty), he aims to regain his old form.

"80 to 90 Percent Fitness"

In an interview with "Partidazo de COPE", the 18-year-old FC Barcelona attacker stated that he currently feels "80 to 90 percent fit".

Despite not yet being at full capacity, he is convinced he can play a full match.

"I can play 90 minutes against Austria," Yamal said about the upcoming clash.

In the last group match against Uruguay, the 18-year-old was substituted in the 76th minute.
