Spain star Aitana Bonmatí is making good progress after recovering from viral meningitis and might even be available for the world champion’s opening match at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, coach Montse Tomé said Wednesday.
The two-time Ballon d’Or winner’s participation in the tournament was in doubt last week when she was hospitalized after falling ill with a fever late Friday, but she rejoined the squad Monday and took part in training Tuesday.
“Let’s see. Aitana is evolving positively,” Tomé said the day before Spain’s opening match against Portugal. “Yesterday, she did part of the training … I think she spent 15 minutes on her own and her progress is very positive. For today’s training, she’ll do some tasks with the team. She’s willing to play, but we’ll see what the medical services are telling me. What matters is the player’s health and good condition, but her progress is positive.”
After Portugal, Spain also faces Belgium and Italy in Group B at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025.
The 27-year-old Bonmatí has won the top individual award for women’s soccer for the past two years.
The Barcelona player was key to Spain winning the 2023 Women’s World Cup for its first major women’s trophy. Spain also won the inaugural 2024 Women’s Nations League, but it has never won the European Championship.

Regressa ao PSG ©IMAGO Ponto final na segunda passagem de Renato Sanches pelo Benfica. Neste sábado, os encarnados confirmaram que o médio, de 27 anos, está de saída do clube, ao qual tinha regressado no último verão por empréstimo do PSG, com quem mantém contrato até junho de 2027.Neste regresso à Luz, o internacional português acabou por ficar aquém das expectativas, depois de ter participado em apenas 21 jogos oficiais em toda a temporada. Em 2024/25, esteve em campo durante apenas 634 minutos.Feitas as contas, devido aos problemas físicos que sofreu ao longo da época, Sanches perdeu um total de 35 jogos oficiais do Benfica, estando 176 dias de fora por lesão. Uma situação que, de resto, tem sido a norma nos últimos anos da carreira do jogador.Outro dado que importa realçar é que, quando voltou às águias cedido pelo PSG, […]

Euros holders England suffer opening defeat to impressive France
England Women's defence of their European title got off to a losing start, beaten 2-1 by France in Zurich.It is the first time a reigning champion has lost their opening game of the following tournament, with the Lionesses largely outplayed and outfought by the impressive French. But their performance was bookended with two bright spells. Alessia Russo had the ball in the back of the net in the 16th minute, but her strike was ruled out by VAR for a Beth Mead offside in the build-up.France reacted the better, taking advantage of England's sloppy play and using their advantage down both wings - Lucy Bronze and Jess Carter struggling against the pace of Sandy Baltimore and Delphine Cascarino.And it was another run from the latter that set France up for a deserved opener. Her pass into the box was turned […]
