According to AS, Yamal was feeling some discomfort after the defeat to PSG and told De la Fuente that he felt “it would be best to rest for the next two weeks.”
However, it seems that the Spain boss wasn’t too happy with Yamal’s idea. He reportedly told the teenager that “if he could play against Sevilla, he could also play for the national team.”
Yamal went back to Barcelona and told them all about his conversation which led to Deco getting in touch with Aitor Karanka. The response was reportedly “just as unsympathetic as the national team coach.”
To me, it's normal, like international coaches would always call their best players.
France did a similar thing when they called Dembele for the last Intl break, even after Dembele was taken off in PSG's game before the break due to a thigh injury, he was still called and injured in his first game for them (funny enough, he'll be called again once fit). Portugal recently just called Joao Neves, who PSG rested against us, and PSG fans are hitting back, which is also expected (a similar thing would happen here). Funny enough, I believe Flick would've called Yamal to the National team if he were Spain's coach, cause if you're fit to play your club games, then the coaches would feel that you can play international games.
For Yamal, the best should be what happened as he would be rested for the Sevilla game and in turn wouldn't be called to play for Spain in the next week.
