Spain’s Rodri subbed out of Euro Final with injury

Spain’s instrumental leader and defensive midfielder Rodri was taken out of his side’s Euro Final clash with England on Sunday after suffering an apparent injury in the first half.

Martin Zubimendi was substituted in Rodri’s place by manager Luis de la Fuente as his side came out for their second half with England.

Rodri appeared to have sustained an injury after stepping up to block an England shot just minutes before the halftime whistle rang in Berlin. He left the field favouring his left leg before being replaced.

Rodri, 28, has appeared in all but one match for Spain during their 2024 European Championship run, finding the back of the net once against Georgia in the quarterfinal.
