DONAUESCHINGEN, Germany (AP) — Spain midfielder Pedri has been ruled out of the rest of the European Championship following a hefty challenge from Toni Kroos, who has apologized to the youngster.
Pedri limped off the field in tears in the eighth minute of Friday’s quarterfinal against Germany, which Spain won 2-1 after extra time.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said it should have been a sending off but Kroos, who was playing what turned out to be the final match of his illustrious career, did not even receive a yellow card.
Pedri has a “grade two sprain in his left knee," The Spanish Football Federation said on Saturday.
