There was confusion in Spain on Monday night as to whether members of the women’s national team would turn up after Montse Tomé, the new head coach, named 15 of the World Cup‑winning players in her squad for Nations League fixtures this month.
Jenni Hermoso, who was kissed after the final victory against England by the then president of the Spanish football federation (RFEF), leading to the crisis, was not among those picked. But despite 39 players making themselves unavailable for selection for the national team in an open letter to the Spanish football federation (RFEF) on Friday, which said not enough was being done to make them feel safe and respected, 21 of those players have been called up by Tomé.
