THE SPANISH FOOTBALL federation (RFEF) announced on Sunday that Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati had left hospital after treatment for viral meningitis.
The two-time Ballon d'Or winner missed Spain's friendly win over Japan on Friday in the women's world champions' last warm-up match before the start of Euro 2025 next week.
The RFEF statement revealed that the Barcelona player would now link up with Spain's Euro squad 'in the coming days', although she is unlikely to figure in their opening matches.
'Thanks for all the messages and to those who have helped me these past few days,' Bonmati wrote on social media.

Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Viral meningitis is less serious than the rarer bacterial variant, which can lead to death within 24 hours.
