Monte Tomé will not be able to count on Alexia Putellas for the duels against Italy and Sweden, with which the Spanish team will close its participation in the group stage of the Nations League. The Spanish Football Federation (FEF) announced this Monday that the Barça midfielder was leaving the La Roja camp due to the discomfort she suffers in her left knee, the same ones that have prevented her from being present in the last matches with her team.
The presence of the double winner of the Ballon d’Or in the list made by Montse Tomé already caused surprise due to the physical problems that the footballer suffered, the same thing that happened with her teammate Irene Paredes, who was also left out of Jonatan’s call. Giráldez for the duel between Barça and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League last Tuesday due to not being in perfect condition.
«They are two special cases. We have monitored at all levels. We have called up 25 players, I suppose that has caught your attention because there are 23 in the call. On Monday we will evaluate them and work with them in whatever way we can. Then we will make the decisions we have to make, ensuring the safety of the players and without forcing anything,” the Oviedo coach then explained.
As planned, Alexia Putellas was examined this Monday by the FEF medical services, who determined that it was best for the midfielder to return to Barcelona to continue recovering. The player will therefore miss the clashes against Italy, on December 1 at the Pasarón Municipal Stadium in Pontevedra, and against Sweden, four days later at La Rosaleda in Malaga. Two events in which Spain will try to seal its ticket to the final four next year, where qualification for the Paris Olympic Games will be played.
