Jenni Hermoso has returned to the Spain squad for the first time since helping the team win the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in the summer.

Hermoso was kissed on the lips during the medal ceremony by then Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales – something she said was not consensual – after Spain had beaten England 1-0 in the August 20 final in Sydney to become world champions.

A series of events followed including Rubiales and Jorge Vilda, manager of the World Cup-winning side, leaving their posts.

Hermoso, who plays for Mexican club Pachuca, is now back in the fold as part of the squad for Nations League matches against Italy and Switzerland on October 27 and 31.

Last month, Hermoso accused the Spanish football federation of ‘intimidation’ and making ‘threats’ after the governing body called up a host of players who asked not to join up with the women’s national team.

Hermoso was not selected in Spain’s Women’s Nations League match against Sweden by new coach Montse Tome – the first squad since lifting the Women’s World Cup, but 15 of her title-winning team-mates were included in the 23-player group named despite announcing a boycott in August.
