BARCELONA, Nov 13 (Reuters) - ⁠Spain are set to welcome ⁠back forwards Lamine Yamal and Mikel ‌Oyarzabal for Sunday's Nations League match against England after the duo missed Thursday's 2-0 win over ​the Czech Republic, manager Luis ⁠de la Fuente ⁠said.

Lamine had stayed back in Barcelona to ⁠nurse ‌a knee injury.

"Lamine feels very goodnow and is really looking ⁠forward to joining the squad tomorrow," ​de la ‌Fuente told Spanish television channel La ⁠1.

Oyarzabal stayed ​in San Sebastian to be present at the birth of his second child. ⁠De la Fuente confirmed that ​he would also be part of Spain's Friday evening training session.

"Mikel too. One will ⁠arrive at midday and the other a little later, but both will be with us tomorrow."

Spain have a three-point ​advantage over England in ⁠League A Group 3 and they will ​top the standings with ‌a draw or a ​win.

Both sides have already qualified for the quarter-finals.
