Spain manager Robert Moreno has revealed David De Gea chose to keep playing after he suffered a muscle injury in La Roja's 1-1 draw with Sweden on Tuesday.
De Gea limped off after an hour but suffered the injury in the first half.
Per Tony Mogan of the Evening Standard, Moreno said: "He had pain in the abductor muscle, but he received treatment at half-time and wanted to keep playing. He gave us his word, but in the end he couldn't continue."
The goalkeeper appeared to aggravate the issue when he kicked the ball upfield:
