Álvaro Morata Injured In Stadium Incident After Spain's Victory

After Spain's victory over France in the European Championship semifinals, striker Álvaro Morata faced a scare when a stadium security guard accidentally collided with his right leg. The incident occurred as the guard was chasing a fan who had entered the field, slipping and sliding into Morata's leg.

Following the collision, Morata was visibly in pain and was seen hobbling as he celebrated the 2-1 win over France. Spain's coach confirmed that Morata had sustained a knock during the chaotic moment caused by the fan's intrusion but reassured that the injury did not appear to be serious.

Having been substituted in the 76th minute, Morata's participation in the upcoming final against either England or the Netherlands on Sunday in Berlin remains uncertain. The 31-year-old striker, who has scored one goal and started in five of Spain's six tournament games, will undergo further assessment to determine the extent of his injury.
