The Madrid striker, absent from the last two calls, is the main novelty on Jorge Vilda’s list for the Nations Cup
Jenni Hermoso is the main novelty in the call-up for the women’s team facilitated this Monday by Jorge Vilda for the Nations Cup to be played in Australia next week, a tournament in which Spain will face the hosts, Jamaica and the Czech Republic and serve as preparation for next summer’s World Cup.
Despite not being part of the group of 15 players who rioted against the coach, the former Barcelona striker, currently in Pachuca in Mexico and absent from Spain’s last two concentrations, issued a statement days after the controversy in which he supported the footballers in his claim , but disagree on the forms. «I would like to publicly express my support to all colleagues who decided a few days ago to express their views. Not only do I understand your reasons, but I have also experienced many of the feelings and concerns you have communicated. While I don’t share the forms, I do sympathize with the need to act as we are in the middle of an unsustainable situation,” said Jenni Hermoso.
The Nations Cup dispute is the penultimate window before the World Cup is held, so everything indicates that the situation is irreversible and none of the footballers who lined up against Vilda will be in the planetary championship. Irene Paredes, who, like Jenni Hermoso, expressed her support for the 15 wayward, is not on the list for the Nations Cup. In the case of Alexia Putellas, the Ballon d’Or winner is still injured from torn ligaments she suffered days after the start of the Euro Cup.
Jorge Vilda was enthusiastic about the list as it consists of footballers who “know what it is like to wear this shirt with enthusiasm” and was hesitant to talk about the absentees stating: “If the World Cup were tomorrow I would go with this players.”
In addition to Jenni Hermoso, top scorer in the history of the Spanish team, Real Sociedad goalkeeper Elene Lete and defenders Paula Tomás (Levante) and Bibiane Schulze (Athletic) are the other novelties of a call that also includes Misa Rodríguez (Real Madrid), Enith Salon (Valencia), Ivana Andrés (Real Madrid), Rocío Gálvez (Real Madrid), María Méndez (Levante), Sheila García (Atlético), Oihane Hernández (Athletics), Olga Carmona (Real Madrid), Laia Codina (Barcelona) , Maite Oroz (Real Madrid), Irene Guerrero (Atlético), Tere Abelleira (Real Madrid), Marta Carro (Valencia), Claudia Zornoza (Real Madrid), Fiamma Benitez (Valencia), Marta Cardona (Atlético), Alba Redondo (Levante ), Athenea del Castillo (Real Madrid), Salma Paralluelo (Barcelona), Esther González (Real Madrid) and Eva Navarro (Atlético).
