More concern for under pressure Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær with Spain and United keeper David de Gea limping off from the Friends Arena pitch in Solna (Sweden) with a suspected groin injury in his right leg sustained during the Euro 2020 qualifier.

The incident happened just before the hour mark as the Toledo born stopper took a goal kick and seemed to aggravate a muscle in his right leg forcing Spain manager Roberto Moreno to replace the 28-year-old with Chelsea's Kepa.
