(Video) Spain dealt huge blow with Man City star forced off at half time

Spain have been dealt a huge blow with Manchester City star Rodri being replaced by Matin Zubimendi at half time of the Euro 2024 final.

Rodri has been a talisman for Spain and not having him in the second half could be a huge blow, and hand England a possible advantage.

The first half was cagey with not many opportunities and neither side took too many risk with Phil Foden going closest, with Spain dominating possession.

The options from the bench could make a big difference if the game is still level heading into the latter stages with England possessing a number of match winning options including Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins.

England are looking to end their 58-year wait for international success, and a win would also see them win their first tournament on foreign soil, whilst Spain are looking for a major trophy since 2012, but they will have to do it without Rodri.

A big change at half-time for Spain ??
