Nightmare for Pedri as Barcelona star is forced off injured at Euro 2024 after Toni Kroos tackle

Barcelona Pedri has been hit with yet another injury blow after being forced off with a problem in the opening minutes of Spain’s Euro 2024 clash with Germany.

The midfielder was named in the starting XI but went off in the opening 10 minutes after a really poor challenge from Toni Kroos.

The Real Madrid midfielder went in late, high and strongly on Pedri and left him in a heap on the pitch. Rather surprisingly, the match referee opted not to show him a yellow card.

Pedri initially tried to carry on but went down again moments later and had to be replaced by Dani Olmo.
