There has been a storm in the Spanish national team after the WC gold and in the days the players went on a boycott because they demanded structural changes, not only that the national team captain Jorge Vilde and the president Luis Rubiales left.
Still, new national team captain Montse Tomé, who was Vilda’s right-hand man, fielded a star-studded squad and most of them joined the Nations League gathering – where Sweden are the opposition on Friday – because they were said to be at risk of being fined or having their playing licenses revoked.
But in the midst of the chaos, a solution seems to have emerged.
Marca reports that a seven-hour meeting took place last night between the players and the federation, with the CSD (roughly the equivalent of the Swedish Sports Confederation) acting as mediator. There, the parties agreed at 04.40 to go ahead and the union must have made a promise about structural changes. Done negotiating for this past, that is
According to Marca, 20 out of 22 players have chosen to give the green light to the federation and they will play the match against Sweden on Friday. Who the two players who left are, it is shrouded in obscurity. However, none of them risk any punishment.
Worth noting is that Cristina Martín-Prieto replaced the injured Esther González. However, she will not play the match against Sweden as she joins later. However, Martín-Prieto is in the squad itself.
CSD and the players’ union FIFpro have confirmed that the players will attend the gathering.
