Precious
David de Gea limped off with an abductor injury in Spain’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Sweden in Stockholm on Tuesday.
The injury could be a big blow for De Gea’s club Manchester United, who are set to meet leaders Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday. De Gea hasn’t missed a league game since May of 2018.
De Gea had been superb in Tuesday’s match until Marcus Berg nodded home the opener from close range in the 51st minute. Shortly afterwards the 28-year-old keeper sat down on the pitch before being replaced by Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The game finished 1-1 after substitute Rodrigo cancelled out Berg’s strike with a stoppage-time goal, allowing La Roja to punch their ticket for Euro 2020.
