Jenni Hermoso returns with the Spanish team – Spain’s News

With calmer spirits, or at least in the expectation of whether the promised changes in the Federation will be carried out, Montse Tomé made public a new list of the women’s soccer team, the world champion, which seeks in the Nations League qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The big news is the return of Jenni Hermosothe victim of the now famous “piquito” of the former president Luis Rubialeswho is being tried in court for possible sexual assault and coercion.

For the two previous games, against Sweden and Switzerland in September, Montse Tomé assured: “We are with Jenni and with all the players in everything. The way to help them is to be close to them and listen to them. We have believed that the best way to protect it in this call is like this [no convocándola]”. This is how the non-presence of the attacker was justified. The Madrid player responded: “Today they tried to argue that the environment would be safe for my teammates when at the same press conference it was announced that they were not calling me up to protect myself. Protect me from what? Or from whom?”.

The concentration started the other way around (Mapi Leon and Patri Guijarro They left after having traveled; by the way, they still haven’t returned to the national team), but there was a rapprochement between Tomé and the players, and the team also won two very important games against Sweden at home (2-3) and against Switzerland at home, in Códoba (5- 0), which always helps. The call that Jenni has entered is for the matches against Italy in Salerno (October 27, 5:45 p.m.) and against Switzerland in Zurich (October 31, 7:00 p.m.). Spain is the leader of the group with 6 points, followed by Sweden and Italy, both with 3; and Switzerland with 0.

The group stage ends with Spain-Italy (December 1) and Spain-Sweden (December 5). The Nations League distributes two places for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Montse Tomé’s team has to finish first in its group, which would give it access to the semifinals. To get the ticket she would have to get into the final, unless one of the finalists is France, which has already qualified for the Games as hosts. In that case, the other finalist would obtain one place and the second place would go to the winner of third and fourth place. This “playoff” is played from February 21 to 28.

This is the complete list for the matches:

Goalkeepers: Misa Rodríguez, Cata Coll and Enith Salón.

Defenses: Ona Batlle, Oihane Hernández, Irene Paredes, Ivana Andrés, Laia Aleixandri, María Méndez and Olga Carmona.

Midfielders: Tere Abelleira, Jenni Hermoso, Maite Oroz, Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas, Anna Torrodà.

Front: Salma Paralluelo, Mariona Caldentey, Inma Gabarro, Amaiur Sarriegi, Athenea del Castillo, Esther González and Lucía García.

Montse Tomé will give explanations about the list starting at 5:00 p.m. today, Wednesday, October 18.
