EURO 2024: A CASCADE OF ABSENTEES ON THE SPANISH SIDE FOR THE SEMI-FINAL AGAINST FRANCE

Qualifying for the semi-finals is not without consequences for Spain, who will be without three players due to suspension. Pedri, who went off injured, will also be missing.

Qualified for the semi-finals of Euro 2024 by beating host country Germany (2-1) after extra time on Friday in Stuttgart, Spain did not emerge unscathed as three players will miss the duel against France in the last four next Tuesday in Munich.

Booked half an hour into the game for cutting off a counter-attack led by Ilkay Gündogan, Robin Le Normand is suspended for the semi-final, as is Dani Carvajal, sent off at the end of extra time for two yellow cards after two fouls on Musiala. On the other hand, there is a real imbroglio in the case of Alvaro Morata. Also sanctioned with a yellow for celebrating Merino’s goal, the captain of La Roja received a yellow by mistake according to the Spanish press and should indeed be available for the semi-final.

Pedri injured

Already facing a headache, Luis De la Fuente will also be without Pedri. Coming off injured after just ten minutes following contact with Toni Kroos , the Barça player is suffering from a sprain that could compromise his end of the competition. But the 20-year-old was brilliantly replaced by Dani Olmo, who scored and provided an assist on Friday.
