Bonmatí Will Miss 2nd Leg of Spain’s Nations League Final Against Germany After Leg Fracture
Aitana Bonmatí fractured her fibula during Spain training and faces a recovery of about two months without surgery, affecting both the national team and Barcelona.
- The RFEF announced on Sunday that Aitana Bonmatí fractured her fibula in training this weekend and will return to Barcelona for tests to determine her recovery time, with ESPN reporting a no-surgery return could take two months.
- Ahead of Tuesday's second leg in Madrid, Bonmatí's injury came before Spain faces Germany women's national team at Atlético Madrid's Metropolitano Stadium after Friday's goalless first leg.
- Statistically this season, Bonmatí has six goals and four assists in 15 appearances for Barcelona and remains the only woman to have won the Ballon d'Or three times.
- Immediate implications include tests at Barcelona to decide surgery versus conservative treatment for Bonmatí, while Spain coach Sonia Bermúdez must replace both Bonmatí and Patri Guijarro in midfield.
- At club level, Barcelona have five more games before year-end, including two Champions League ties, with youngsters Vicky López, Sydney Schertenleib and Clara Serrajordi likely to get minutes due to Bonmatí's absence.
