Two-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati played the final nine minutes of Spain’s 2025 European Championship group stage win over Portugal on Thursday, returning four days after being discharged from hospital following a viral meningitis diagnosis.

Aitana Bonmati has joined Spain’s Women’s Euro 2025 squad after having treatment in hospital for viral meningitis. The Barcelona midfielder was taken to a hospital in Madrid last Friday after missing training a day prior. This forced her to miss Spain’s 3-1 friendly win over Japan.

The Spanish Football Federation says midfielder Aitana Bonmatí has rejoined the Spain squad in Switzerland ahead of the team's opener in the Women’s European Championship on Thursday.
