The waiting is over for soccer fans all around the world, as the UEFA Euro 2024 is finally here. Spain, considered a top contender to win the title, faces a significant setback as midfielder Gavi will miss the tournament.

Drawn into Group B alongside Italy, Croatia, and Albania, this group is widely seen as the “group of death” due to the competitive nature of these nations, specially the first three.

Despite having a formidable roster, Spain’s coach Luis de la Fuente will be without key midfielder Gavi from FC Barcelona, dealing a blow to their midfield strength for the competition.

Unfortunately, Gavi suffered a torn ACL while playing for Spain last November. The midfielder has not recovered from it yet, which is why he was not considered for the Euro 2024.
