Luis de la Fuente’s side had already assured their place at next summer’s tournament before the midfielder pulled up with a nasty-looking knee injury.

Further signs of a gloomy early prognosis saw Ferran Torres hold up his club teammate’s shirt when celebrating the hosts retake their lead early in the second half.
