Spain are currently without a number of key players through injury, with Unai Simon, Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Rodri, Dani Olmo, Gavi and Nico Williams all missing out on selection.
La Roja, as mentioned, will also be without Yamal, as the youngster withdrew from the squad due to the problem he suffered in the previous match.
Alex Baena is likely to replace Yamal, but the line-up is likely to remain the same as against Denmark, with Alvaro Morata, who has scored 36 goals for his country, leading the attack.

Mitrovic has scored 59 goals in 95 international appearances, while the 30-year-old has been in excellent form for Al Hilal this season, with 14 goals in 11 appearances in all competitions.
Nikola Milenkovic and Sasa Lukic should also keep their places in the squad, while Porto's Marko Grujic is expected to start despite being withdrawn at half-time against Switzerland.

Latest football commentary Spain vs Serbia
Spain were not at their best against Denmark on Saturday night, and it looked as though La Roja might have to settle for a goalless draw, but Martin Zubimendi scored the only goal of the game in the 79th minute.
The Euro 2024 champions have therefore climbed to the top of the group, ahead of Denmark, with seven points from their first three games, and they will now be looking to reach 10 points ahead of their final two group stage games, which will take place against Denmark and Switzerland next month.
Spain are the Nations League champions, having won the 2022-23 tournament, beating Croatia in the final to claim the title for the first time.
La Roja are unbeaten since a 1-0 defeat to Colombia in March, but they were held to a goalless draw by Serbia in the reverse fixture last month, and the visitors will head into this clash on the back of an excellent result.
Spain are also missing a number of key players through injury, including Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal, who picked up a minor injury in the match against Denmark.
Serbia failed to make it out of the group stages of Euro 2024, picking up just two points from three games, but they have shown some positive signs in their 2024-25 Nations League campaign.
Dragan Stojkovic's side began their Group 4 challenge with a goalless draw against Spain, but they were unable to build on that result, suffering a 2-0 defeat to Denmark in their second game in September.
However, the Eagles bounced back impressively on Saturday, beating Switzerland 2-0, with Aleksandar Mitrovic adding another after a Nico Elvedi own goal to secure all three points.
Serbia are third in the group, two points behind Denmark and three behind Spain, so a win on Tuesday night would put them in an interesting position ahead of their final two group games in November.
Stojkovic's side have lost just one of their last five games in all competitions, but their first encounter with Spain in May 2012 ended in a 2-0 defeat, with Adrian Lopez and Santi Cazorla scoring.
This could be a very difficult game for Spain, as Serbia can be a tough opponent, and the home side will be missing a number of key players. It would not be a surprise to see a draw here, but we feel that De la Fuente's side will be able to come through and claim three valuable points.
