Ligament injury
After Kroos foul: Spain’s Pedri out of European Championships
Spain midfielder Pedri will miss the rest of Euro 2024 after suffering a ligament injury in his left knee during his team's 2-1 quarter-final win over hosts Germany on Friday.
The Spanish FA (RFEF) announced on Saturday that Pedri had suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Pedri will nevertheless remain with the team for the remainder of the match.
Replaced after eight minutes
The 21-year-old Pedri was substituted for Leipzig's Dani Olmo after just eight minutes following a serious foul by Toni Kroos. He limped off the pitch with tears in his eyes and was comforted by the substitutes. In the second half, he sat on the sidelines with a bandaged knee. Olmo in turn scored the 1:0 and set up the 2:1.
Kroos apologizes
Kroos later apologized for his foul. "Sorry and get well soon", he wrote on Instagram after the dramatic match. "Logically, it was not my intention to hurt you. A speedy recovery and all the best. You're a great player."
