Shock for reigning Golden Ball Aitana Bonmati

(NLDO) - The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed that Aitana Bonmati has a broken left fibula and will be absent from the second leg of the Nations League final on December 2.

27-year-old star midfielder Aitana Bonmati suffered an injury during a training session with the Spanish women's team last weekend. According to a statement from the RFEF, Aitana Bonmati collapsed on the pitch in pain after a sudden collision with a teammate while her entire body weight was on her left leg. She was asked to leave the training session immediately to undergo initial medical tests.

Official information shows that Aitana Bonmati has said goodbye to the Spanish team to return to Barcelona, ​​waiting for the club's medical team to conduct a thorough examination to determine the exact extent of the injury as well as have a suitable treatment plan. No additional players have been called up for the Spanish team when "La Roja" still has 24 players.

Aitana Bonmati is an outstanding face of Barcelona and the Spanish national team.

ESPN said that if the injury is minor and does not require surgery, Aitana Bonmati may only have to rest for 6-8 weeks. In more serious cases, requiring surgery, her recovery time could last from 3 to 6 months.

The absence of the three-time Ballon d'Or winner is a heavy blow to the Spanish women's team's midfield, which is already severely depleted with Patri Guijarro, Tere Abelleira and Maite Oroz all recovering from injuries.

Coach Sonia Bermúdez is forced to adjust her personnel plan, with the replacement for Bonmatí likely to be Vicky López, one of the young faces who is playing with a lot of progress.

She shined with the team she was with for 14 years, Barcelona.

Up to now, the star born in 1998 has played 87 times for the Spanish national team, scoring 30 goals. This season, in 15 appearances for Barcelona in all competitions, Aitana Bonmati contributed 6 goals and 4 assists.

Bonmatí's injury came shortly after she made history by winning her third consecutive Ballon d'Or, becoming the only player in women 's football history to do so.

The absence of a leader in midfield is therefore not only a big professional disadvantage, but also significantly affects the spirit of "La Roja" in the battle to defend the Nations League title against Germany.

Bonmati is the only female player to win the Ballon d'Or three times.

In the first leg of the final a few days ago, Spain was held to a 0-0 draw by Germany. The rematch in the second leg of the final on December 2 at the Metropolitano Stadium (Madrid) promises to be very exciting. Spain is also the current Women's World Cup champion, the current number 1 team in Europe and at the world level.
