La Roja defeated the hosts Germany to reach the semi-final.

Luis de la Fuente will have to make many changes to his starting lineup as he is set to miss three key players ahead of France’s game after they beat host nations 2-1. The 2008 Euro Champions were the better side and had many chances to put the game to bed but saw their efforts saved or went wide. La Roja finally broke the deadlock through Dani Olmo.

De La Fuente’s team dug deep and displayed an entirely different side of their game as Spain defeated hosts Germany in an amazing quarterfinal. Mikel Merino scored the game’s winning goal in the 119th minute. Spain have a very deep roster and their rhythm is all on the team unit rather than individuals.

They beat and tormented Germany throughout. Even though they will be without several important players due to injury and suspension, they still have a lot going for them.

The side captained by Alvaro Morata won’t have several important defensive players for this crucial semi-final game against France. Spain haven’t advanced to the European Championship final since they won it in 2012. Three years ago, eventual winners Italy eliminated them in this competition’s semifinals.

Spain Injury news and suspension

The yellow card was displayed on the UEFA website as well as during the live broadcast of the game. Luckily for Spain, that never came to pass, therefore Morata will most likely attack on Tuesday night alongside Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.

After overcoming Germany in a thrilling match on Friday to guarantee their spot in the Euro 2024 semi-finals, Spain were in a daze. Pedri (injury), Robin Le Normand, and Dani Carvajal (both suspension) were all left in the hindered state to feature against Les Bleus, therefore the victory was not without a cloud.

Spain’s situation might have been worse when in the midst of the jubilation following Mikel Merino’s goal in the 119th minute, captain Morata appeared to be given a yellow card.

That would’ve resulted in a suspension for him for the France match as well, but according to Diario AS, referee Anthony Taylor never issued the booking, so the leader of La Roja is free to play against Les Bleus.
