- Aitana Bonmatí, the Barcelona midfielder and three-time Ballon d’Or winner, has sustained a fractured left fibula during training, ruling her out of the second leg of Spain's Nations League final against Germany.

- Bonmatí's absence is a significant setback for Spain, as her experience and skill are vital to the team's performance. The injury not only affects Spain's lineup but also raises concerns about their chances of securing the Nations League title against a formidable German side.
- The situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by women's football, including injuries to key players and the impact on team dynamics. As Spain prepares for the final, the focus will also be on how they adapt without Bonmatí and the role of emerging talents in the squad, especially after a tightly contested first leg that showcased the competitive nature of the tournament.
