Spain’s star midfielder Aitana Bonmatí has been discharged from the hospital after battling viral meningitis and is set to rejoin the national team ahead of the Women’s Euro 2025. The Spanish soccer federation confirmed her release but didn’t provide specifics about her recovery timeline. Bonmatí missed a recent friendly, but her return could be a major boost for Spain’s title defense.

Editor’s Note: Bonmatí’s recovery is a big deal—not just for her but for Spain’s chances in the Euros. As one of the team’s key players, her health and form could shape their campaign. Viral meningitis is no joke, so her quick return is a relief for fans and a testament to her resilience. If she’s back on the pitch soon, it’ll be a huge morale lift for the squad.

England’s women’s football team is gearing up for Euro 2025 with some notable challenges—key players have retired or stepped back—but coach Sarina Wiegman still has a strong squad that could make history. She’s already led teams to back-to-back Euros titles (with the Netherlands in 2017 and England in 2022), and this could be her shot at a third.

Editor’s Note: Even with setbacks, England remains a powerhouse in women’s football, and Wiegman’s track record makes them a team to watch. If they pull it off, it’d be a huge moment for the sport—and a testament to their resilience. Plus, it keeps the momentum going after their 2022 Euros win, which massively boosted the profile of women’s football in the UK.
