Spain U17 have axed Barcelona superkid Lamine Yamal from Euro qualifiers due to a discipline breach.

Yamal will not play in the elite round of the European U17 Championship due to an act of indiscipline during his last call-up to the Spanish national youth team.

Spain coach Julen Guerrero has reportedly decided not to use him and will also leave out two other players who were involved. One of them is a youth teamer at Real Madrid and the other at Atletico Madrid.

The indiscipline occurred during the last meeting in the Algarve in February, when Spain ended as champions of the International Tournament that was played in this Portuguese town -- and where the young Bara player shone, scoring a double against the Dutch national team in the first game.

Lamine, who despite his age (15 years old) is one of the outstanding players of the U17s, will miss the tournament that provides access to the next European Championship in Hungary.
