Blow for Spain!? Skipper Alvaro Morata in doubt for Euro Cup final
Alvaro Morata became the first captain to take Spain to a Euro Final in 12 years, but will he feature in the game
Spain might be dealing with a major setback as Álvaro Morata’s appearance for the Euro 2024 final is now uncertain. Morata injured his knee when a security guard accidentally slid into him during the celebration of Spain’s 2-1 semi-final victory over France.
Morata was celebrating with his teammates when the security guard, in pursuit of a pitch invader, collided with him. The impact left Morata visibly in pain, and he was seen limping off the field.
This unfortunate incident has sparked concerns about his availability for the final on Sunday. The 31-year-old striker will be evaluated by the national team’s medical staff before a final decision is made.
As Spain awaits the outcome of the other semi-final between England and the Netherlands, they are hoping Morata will be fit to lead the team in the final. His absence would be a significant blow to Spain’s chances of lifting the Euro 2024 trophy.
