Latest Spain news
Spain captain Álvaro Morata has trained ahead of the European Championship final, allaying fears over his fitness after he was hurt in a freak accident involving stadium security.
The striker had limped away from his country’s celebrations following their semi-final victory against France in Munich on Tuesday night after a member of the Allianz Arena security team slipped and collided with him while pursuing a pitch invader.
But Morata took part in an open training session on Thursday at Spain’s Euro 2024 headquarters in Germany’s Black Forest.
Spain were already without Pedri, who suffered a tournament-ending injury in a tackle by Toni Kroos in the quarter-final win over Germany.
Ayoze Pérez has also been sidelined since his side’s victory over Italy in their second game of the group stages.
But they will welcome back both Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand from suspension
Latest England news
Gareth Southgate looks set to keep faith with the XI that started in the semi-final win over the Netherlands. That means Luke Shaw will have to be content with a place on the bench, with Kieran Trippier likely to get the nod from the manager in the left-back role.
On Saturday night Southgate said: “Everyone is fit, which is great but not unusual for a cup final.”
Meanwhile, Sarina Wiegman says England’s men “know exactly what they have to do” to seal European glory on Sunday, telling Gareth Southgate: “Let’s bring it home.”
The Lionesses manager has vast experience of European finals, having guided her native Netherlands to Women’s European Championship success in 2017 before repeating the feat with England at Wembley two years ago.
While she conceded her “orange heart was hurting” after watching England men book their place in the Euros final with a last-gasp victory over the Netherlands, she insisted she would be rooting for Southgate’s team on Sunday.

“They know exactly what they have to do. It is their second [Euros] final, which is incredible,” said Wiegman. “I just wish them all the best and in England you would say, ‘Let’s bring it home’.
“We all know that football worldwide is the biggest sport. In England it’s on a different level [which I saw] since I came in and worked here.
“It’s so deep in society and the people support it so much. It’s incredible. I never, ever take it for granted. I think the whole country should be very proud of what the England men do. It’s not easy – that’s what we’ve seen too. It’s good to be English at the moment.”
