Euro 2024. Knee sprain for Pedri, out against Les Bleus and for the end of the tournament

A tough blow for Spain. The Spanish Football Federation confirmed on Saturday that its playmaker Pedri, who was forced off injured in the Euro 2024 quarter-final against Germany, has a sprained left knee and will be out for the rest of the competition.

“Medical examinations have revealed that Pedri González suffers a grade 2 internal lateral sprain in his left knee,” the RFEF in a press release.

Carnage against the Blues

The young FC Barcelona player (21 years old) is therefore out of the semi-final against France (Tuesday, 9 p.m.) and the possible final, but will remain in Germany until the end of the Euro.

The attacking midfielder, who remained on the ground after a big foul by Kroos in the 4th minute,^e minute of play while he was going on the counterattack, tried to get back into the game but he ended up giving up his place, in tears while holding his knee, to Dani Olmo. The latter was also dazzling by scoring a goal and providing an assist to qualify his team for the next round by beating Germany (2-1 aet).

Spain will also have to do without Dani Carvajal against Les Bleus, who was sent off in the last minute of the quarter-final, and Robin Le Normand, who is suspended.

Kroos publicly apologizes

German midfielder Toni Kroos, who was playing the last match of his career on Friday, “asked forgiveness” from Pedri and wished him “a speedy recovery”.
