A member of Spain's OWN security team accidentally injured Alvaro Morata during the celebrations as Spain reached the final of the Euros.<br /><br />It came after a pitch invader ran on the pitch to try and join in with the Spanish team's celebrations after they beat France 2-1 in the semi-final.<br /><br />A member of the team's security moved to try and stop the pitch invader, but in doing so slipped and launched himself into a slide tackle on the former Chelsea striker.<br /><br />The contact looked nasty, with Morata's leg appearing to get stuck in the turf.<br /><br />Morata appeared to be in considerable pain and was seen hobbling about the pitch while his team-mates celebrated.<br /><br />There will now be concerns that the Spain captain will miss the final on Sunday in which they will play England or Holland.<br /><br />Morata captained his side to a 2-1 victory over France, which saw Lamine Yamal make history.<br /><br />His wonder strike, from 25 yards drew Spain level after France took the lead.<br /><br />It also made him the youngest goal scorer in Euros history, at the age of 16 years and 362 days.<br /><br />The strike means he has gone above previous holder Johan Vonlanthen, who was 18 years and 141 days old when he netted for Switzerland at Euro 2004.<br /><br />Morata had been named captain of his side before the tournament by Spain coach Luis De La Fuente.<br /><br />While never the most prolific forward, his selflessness has helped the likes of Lamal and Nico Williams shine.<br /><br />The celebrations of captaining his side to a Euros final should have been the pinnacle of his career, but he will now be sweating over his fitness.<br /><br />Earlier this week he threatened to quit playing international football, due to criticism over his performances at the Euros.<br /><br />He said: "It could be [my last tournament with Spain].<br /><br />"It's a possibility that I don't want to talk about too much, but it's probable."<br /><br />Morata went on to explain that he prefers playing outside of Spain as he insisted there is "no respect" in his homeland.<br /><br />He added: "In Spain, it's hard for me to be happy.<br /><br />"Without a doubt [I'm happier outside of Spain]. I've said it many times. Above all, because people respect me.<br /><br />"In Spain, there's no respect for anything or anyone."
