Spain risk VIOLATING strict German law during against Albania and could receive huge punishment, it's unprecedented

Spain face a dilemma ahead of their next game at Euro 2024.

Spain are at risk of breaking a strict German law in their next Euro 2024 match.

Spain have won their opening two games of the Euros, beating Croatia 3-0 before recording a 1-0 victory over Italy last Thursday.

They resume their campaign on Monday when they face Albania in what will be their last group stage game before entering the knockout round.

And Spain face a dilemma over 16-year-old sensational Lamine Yamal in their next fixture, according to a report.

In Germany, under-18s, whether German or foreign, are not allowed to work past 8pm in order to protect them in the workplace.

BILD via Cadena Cope state that there are exceptions for athletes to play until 11pm, but that includes to shower and complete media obligations.

Spain could break the German law if Yamal plays the full match against Albania.

The Barcelona starlet has started both of his national team's opening two Euro 2024 games.

But he has been substituted in both appearances.

If Spain's knockout game goes to extra time and Yamal is involved, it would be difficult to comply with the law, which could result in a sanction.

La Roja could be hit with a €30k fine if the German authorities decide to take action.

However, it has also been suggested that this is merely a threat and unlikely to be enforced.

It would come as a surprise if German authorities take action against Spain considering Yamal's well-being isn't being harmed.

Much has been said about Yamal's participation at Euro 2024, with the teenage phenom doing his homework whilst he's out in Germany.

On his studies, he said. "How many hours do I study? Well, since we have a lot of free time, it's not something that I put in and say: 'Today at least two hours', when I'm in the room with nothing to do, I take the iPad and do a couple of homework, and when Nico or Fermín call me to play PlayStation, I go down with them.

"Do I have to take exams? No, with the iPad, I see what they send me, I print it and do it.

"What about my grades? I guess they will send them to me online because it depends on how far we go in the Euro Cup, which I hope will be very far away because I won't be going back to class anymore.

"So, if we reach the final, I won't come back, I'll go directly on vacation."
