Pedri, Low Confirmed
Tests have confirmed that Pedri González has a Grade 2 internal lateral sprain in his left knee, an injury that will keep him out for an estimated four to six weeks. This injury was the result of a hard tackle by Toni Kroos during the Euro Cup match between Spain and Germany, which forced Pedri to be substituted six minutes into the game.
Farewell message from Toni Kroos
After the game, Toni Kroos, in an emotional farewell letter published on his social networks, expressed his regret for the tackle that injured Pedri. In that letter, Kroos apologized to Pedri and wished him a speedy recovery, stating that it was not his intention to hurt him and praising him as a great player.
Consequences for Pedri and Barça
Due to this injury, Pedri will miss the remainder of the European Championship and the pre-season with Barça. This represents a significant setback for the Canarian player, who had been playing a prominent role in the tournament and will now have to focus on his recovery to return to full fitness for the start of next season.
Perspective of the Spanish Selection
The RFEF has confirmed that Pedri will remain with his teammates until the end of the Spanish national team’s concentration to support them, despite his absence on the pitch. The Spanish national team is preparing to face the semi-finals against France and, if they win, the final of the European Cup, hoping to overcome this significant loss and achieve success in the tournament.
