Aitana Bonmatí, out due to injury for the Nations League final
Spanish midfielder Aitana Bonmatí will miss the next match after suffering a leg fracture, according to the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
The injury occurred during a training session prior to the second leg of the UEFA Nations League final against Germany, which will be played on Tuesday in Madrid.
Bonmatí, winner of the Ballon d’Or on three occasions, will return to her club, Barcelona, to undergo more tests that will determine the time of her recovery.
If surgery is not required, he could be back in two months, but if an operation is necessary, it could be longer.

Aitana Bonmati, la única mujer en ganar tres Balones de Oro.The news arrives just two days before Spain’s match against Germany at the Metropolitano Stadium in Atlético de Madrid, where La Roja will seek to retain the Nations League title.
The first leg in Germany ended in a scoreless draw.
The Spanish national team already has the loss of Patri Guijarro, also injured, which forces coach Sonia Bermúdez to look for solutions in midfield.
Bonmatí’s injury will also affect Barcelona, given Guijarro’s absence, and it is likely that youngsters like Vicky López, Sydney Schertenleib and Clara Serrajordi will have more minutes.
