Spain star Álvaro Morata injured after security guard accidentally slips into him trying to get fan off field
Spain made the Euro 2024 final on Tuesday night, but they could be without one of their starting players after an accident with a security guard post-match.
Álvaro Morata was injured after being accidentally hit by a security guard, who was trying to remove a fan who rushed the field from the stands.
The fan was trying to take a selfie with the team on the field after Spain defeated France, 2-1.
In trying to wrangle up the fan, the security guard fell into Morata’s legs from behind, and he had no clue what was going on.
Morata quickly grabbed his right leg and started hopping around in pain. It appeared the security guard, who slipped on the grass while trying to slow down his run, attempted to apologize to Morata for what happened.
In the locker room, midfielder Rodri told The Athletic that Morata was in pain, though he was hopeful he would be available for the final against the winner of the Netherlands versus England on Wednesday.
