Riquelme gets Lamine Yamal's No.10 in Spain

Rodrigo Riquelme will wear, against Serbia, in the Nations League match at the Nuevo Arcangel in Cordoba, the number 10 on his return to the Spanish national team, a number left free by Lamine Yamal due to injury.

The absence of Dani Olmo allowed Yamal to play for the first time with the ‘10’ on his back against Denmark in Murcia, but a muscle strain prevents the Barcelona winger from playing against Serbia.

Riquelme is given the jersey as Yamal's replacement without another player being able to choose him due to the obligation of the federations to give UEFA the full list before the first of the two Nations League matches. The Atletico Madrid midfielder has already played two official matches for the Spanish national team, in November 2023, against Cyprus and Georgia.
