The Spanish team had to make a reluctant substitution in the quarter-finals of EURO 2024 because Pedri was seriously injured. According to the latest information, Pedri no longer has the opportunity to compete in this tournament even if “Gaur” continues.

In the EURO 2024 quarterfinal match with Germany, Spain did not enter the match smoothly. In the 6th minute, midfielder Pedri suffered a serious knee injury after a collision with Toni Kroos.

The slow motion tape shows that Kroos’s seemingly simple trip made the Barca star unable to continue playing.

After being treated by medical staff on the field, Pedri repeatedly shook his head and affirmed that he could not continue to play. Coach Luis Fuente reluctantly made a substitution right from the beginning of the match.

He brought in Dani Olmo to replace Pedri in the 8th minute. This was the earliest substitution in EURO history. Latest information, Pedri will be absent for the rest of EURO 2024 whether “Gaur” reaches the final or not.

In this match, Spain still uses the familiar 4-3-3 formation. In midfield, Pedri started alongside Rodri and Fabian Ruiz. On the attack line is still the trio of Yamal, Morata and Williams.

Given the nature of the quarterfinals, the two teams entered relatively cautiously. In the first half, Germany controlled the ball more but Spain had more shots.

At this time, Spain and Germany are playing extra time after holding each other at 1-1 in the official 90 minutes.
