Midfielder Pedri was forced to come off as a substitute in the eighth minute. He went down clutching his knees in the opening minutes of the match after a harsh and late challenge from Toni Kroos.

Pedri came back into the match after receiving treatment but went down again, suggesting that he could not carry on. He limped off the field covering his face and was replaced by  RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo.

Before today, Olmo had played 36 appearances for Spain, scoring nine goals and assisting eight in that time. In Euro 2024, Olmo started only one match (against Albania) and featured off the bench in two of the other three.

He has one assist and one goal to his name so far in the competition.
