Spain have received a boost ahead of their Euro 2024 semi-final clash, as captain Alvaro Morata will be available to lead the line against France. It was initially reported that the striker would be suspended for the match after receiving his second yellow card of the tournament in the quarter-final against Germany.
However, a mix-up in the reporting has now been clarified by UEFA. Morata did not actually receive a yellow card in the game against Germany, and his booking in the earlier 4-1 win over Georgia remains his only one of the tournament.
This means the Atletico Madrid striker is free to play against Les Bleus, which will be a live broadcast on talkSPORT. Spain will be without Dani Carvajal and Robin le Normand due to suspension, while midfielder Pedri is also ruled out through injury.
“Having Morata available is a significant boost for La Roja as they look to secure a place in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday, where they could potentially face either England or the Netherlands.”
The semi-final clash between Spain and France is set to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams aiming to progress to the showpiece event and lift the prestigious trophy. Fans and pundits alike will be eagerly anticipating the outcome of this heavyweight encounter in the race for Euro 2024 glory.
