Spain's injury-plagued Pedri suffers major Euro 2024 fitness blow

Another injury setback? Pedri forced off during Spain Euro 2024 quarter-final

Spain midfielder Pedri suffers an injury in the opening stages of La Roja's Euro 2024 quarter-final with Germany, being forced off following two fouls from Toni Kroos.

Spain midfielder Pedri was forced off in his nation's Euro 2024 quarter-final in Stuttgart against Germany.

The Barcelona star was starting his fourth match at the competition for La Roja, who were looking to continue their 100% record this summer.

With two of the tournament favourites going toe-to-toe, Pedri was caught up in the fiery opening exchanges, as Germany aimed to prevent their opponents from controlling the pace of the game.

Not known for his hard tackling, Toni Kroos committed two fouls on the 21-year-old, who has been through the mill with multiple injury layoffs during the early stages of his blossoming career.

Pedri was able to continue following the first collision, but another of a similar nature from the Real Madrid legend just minutes later forced the Spain man to be substituted.

The 25-time international was replaced by RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo in the La Roja engine room, representing a new partner for Manchester City's Rodri and Paris Saint-Germain's Fabian Ruiz.

It is currently unclear whether Pedri will be fit to play a part for Spain they should progress to the semi-finals, with a game against either France or Portugal scheduled for Tuesday night.
