WHAT TOME SAID

<p>Bonmati has scored 30 goals in 78 appearances for Spain and played a huge role in their 2023 World Cup and 2024 Nations League victories. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-and-spain-star-aitana-bonmati-wins-second-ballon-d-or-femenin-uswnt-triple-espresso-olympic-heroes-earn-top-10-finishes/blt4c3d3a47ed3d10cf" target="_blank">The reigning Ballon d'Or winner</a> would be a huge miss for the tournament favourites should she be ruled out for a lengthy period of time. </p>
