Spain confirmed Saturday that midfielder, Pedri Gonzalez will play no part in their remaining matches of the Euro Championship after suffering a grade two sprain to his left knee.
Pedri, 21, was a major causality in the La Roja 2-1 over hosts Germany in the quarterfinal win over hosts Friday. He collided with Toni Kroos in ten minutes of play.
Kroos took to his Instagram to offer an apology for the tackle and support for Pedri.
“I want to apologise and ask for forgiveness, Pedri,” wrote Kroos who retired from international games after the German loss.
“I hope you make a quick recovery. It was not my intention to hurt you and I wish you all the best. You are a great player.”
There’s was no word on how long the Barcelona player will remain on the sideline. Early estimates suggest he will be out for around 4-6 weeks which means he’s likely to miss the start of Barcelona’s season as well.
Barcelona kick off their new La Liga campaign on August 17 with a trip to Mestalla to take on Valencia.
