(0:31)Bonmatí: Spain deserved more from last Euros vs. England (0:31)Open Extended ReactionsMidfielder Aitana Bonmati, Ballon d'Or winner for the last two years, has been hospitalized with viral meningitis less than a week before Spain begin their Women's Euro 2025 campaign, coach Montse Tome said.
The 27-year-old missed Friday's 3-1 win over Japan in a friendly as Spain continued building up to their first Group B match against Portugal on July 3.
Bonmati shared a picture of herself watching the match from a hospital bed in an Instagram story.
Talking about meningitis can be scary but it is controlled," Tome told reporters after the win in Leganes.
"Aitana will be admitted and there are no deadlines yet to know for how long (she will be absent)."
