England ace Kyle Walker 'fouls Spain manager' during Euro 2024 final

Kyle Walker had England fans on the edge of their seats early into the nation's Euro 2024 final with Spain - appearingly injured after coming together with Luis de la Fuente. The 34-year-old was caught out of position by Fabian Ruiz on the right-hand side of the pitch - lunging towards the midfielder with pace to intercept a pass.

A mis-timed tackle on the PSG star would see Walker flying towards the de la Fuente's box, before clashing with the 63-year-old's right leg. in the moments after the incident, Walker looked to be injured while momentarily grasping at his hamstring - something that the BBC commentary team picked up on.

Guy Mowbray said: "This is not what England need. Kyle Walker needs to have some treatment - something’s tightened up," while Alan Shearer added: "He comes sliding in there doesn’t he on Fabian Ruiz."

Mowbray sarcastically added: "He’s fouled Luis de la Fuente! He can’t get a free-kick for that. He’s still hobbling along but he’s coming back into the box to help his team defend this corner. He’s in a bit of pain."

Any worries that Walker and his teammates had would quickly be shaken off, as moments later, he would burst forward into Spain's box after receiving a pass from Bukayo Saka, winning a corner for his efforts.
