The Spanish Football Federation confirmed that veteran full-back Jesus Navas, who left the field against France in the semi-final match of the European Nations Championship (Euro 2024) amid clear signs of pain, is only suffering from some discomfort without a serious injury to his thigh.
Navas, 38, had to start against France and face the challenge of stopping Kylian Mbappe, due to Dani Carvajal’s suspension after being sent off against Germany.
However, the tests the player underwent ruled out his inclusion on the list of injured players alongside Pedri in the Spanish national team, and therefore he will not be excluded from playing in the tournament final on the 14th of this month at the Berlin Olympic Stadium against the winner of the England-Netherlands match.
According to the federation, Navas suffered from thigh pain that made him play poorly in the second half, in addition to receiving an early yellow card in the first quarter of an hour of the match, which increased the risk of him being sent off if he interfered strongly with Mbappe, to be the first change for Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente in the 57th minute.
With this, the only absence that Spain will suffer from in the final is Pedri, who suffered a knee sprain in the first minutes of the quarter-final against Germany.
De la Fuente Carvajal and Robin Le Normand will return to defence after serving suspensions in the semi-final.
