Mounir Nasraoui absent from World Cup due to health issues

Spanish prodigy Lamine Yamal is playing in the World Cup while his father, Mounir Nasraoui, is unable to attend the tournament. Sources close to the family say Nasraoui suffers from epilepsy and additional health problems that prevent him from traveling.

The rest of the family – his mother, brother and girlfriend – are present at the event, and Nasraoui has expressed willingness to sacrifice everything for a chance at recovery.
