Barcelona received a worrying blow as three of their stars, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, and İlkay Gündoğan, were given starting positions in the Euro 2024 match between Spain and Germany. In the early minutes of the game, Pedri was tackled by Toni Kroos from Real Madrid, forcing him to leave the field due to a knee injury. Despite trying to continue playing, Pedri had to be substituted off. It is uncertain how long he will be sidelined for due to the injury.
This incident raised concerns among fans as Kroos was not shown a yellow card for the challenge on Pedri. The injury could impact Barcelona’s lineup in upcoming matches if it turns out to be severe enough. The team will have to wait and see the extent of the damage caused by the tackle before determining their next steps for the young midfielder.
