The absence of Mounir Nasraoui, Lamine Yamal’s father, at the World Cup has been notable. All the family members closest to the Spanish national team player are present at the event: his mother, brother, girlfriend… But Mounir Nasraoui is missing.
According to El Español, citing sources close to a friend of Mounir, a local hotelier in Mataró, the reason for Lamine Yamal’s father’s absence from the tournament is related to health problems, according to those close to him. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to go, as I have epilepsy…” they said.
Many long trips that are not good for him
In fact, the same source highlights another wish of the national team star’s father. “I would trade all the money I have to be able to get better,” the same source claims to have heard him say.
The fact is that, due to his illness, such extensive travel, and especially long journeys, are not recommended. In addition to the long trip from Spain to the United States, he has had to travel to other locations within the US, requiring further trips. Spain has played in areas far from the North American continent, such as Atlanta, Guadalajara (Mexico), Dallas, and Los Angeles.

At least Lamine has the support of his mother, Sheila Ebana, his brother Keyne, who has become a true leader thanks to the charisma he exudes in every action he takes, as well as the support of his closest friends and his partner, Inés García.
